Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone massage is a highly specialized form of massage that uses smooth, heated stones to sooth and relax your body and your mind. It is one of the best therapies for total relaxation and regeneration of the organism. Placing of the stones on the body is followed by a massage, which is deeper and more intense because the heat penetrates the body and relaxes the muscles. Aromatic oils can be incorporated into this treatment, too.

The application of hot rocks for healing purposes has been used in many different cultures over the years. This therapy was revived in 1993 in the US and has quickly spread across the world. Today the hot stones (or lava stones) are usually made out of basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well. Their temperature reaches approximately 40 to 55 degrees.

A massage with lava stones generates energy, is calming and giving relief to deep-seated muscle tension.
