Release tension with a hot stone massage in Auckland
Embrace the soothing warmth of hot stone massage and discover a heightened level of comfort and tranquillity during your treatment.
What is a hot stone massage?
Hot stone massage involves the use of heated, smooth basalt stones to alleviate muscular tension effectively. These stones are strategically positioned at particular points on the back and in the palms of the hands by your massage therapist.
The gentle heat from the stones permeates the muscles, inducing a sense of relaxation, thereby enabling the therapist to apply deeper pressure if requested. This type of massage is particularly beneficial for individuals who often feel cold or experience cold feet. Additionally, it is ideal for those who prefer a milder intensity during their massage session.
What are the benefits of choosing a hot stone massage?
Muscle relaxation: The warmth of the hot stones helps to loosen tense muscles, promoting deep relaxation and reducing muscle stiffness and soreness.
Improved circulation: The heat from the stones enhances blood flow, promoting better circulation throughout the body and aiding in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
Pain relief: Hot stone massage can be effective in reducing chronic pain, such as back pain or arthritis discomfort, by relaxing muscles and increasing flexibility.
Detoxification: The warmth of the stones can stimulate the lymphatic system, assisting the body in eliminating toxins and waste products.
