Taking a break from work and from life is truly a necessity that most people overlook. No, you don't need to fly and have a holiday every few months, just being able to give yourself some down time to unwind and relax will benefit you as much as a holiday and is a healthy habit to get into.
Hot Stone full-body massage
£60.00 90 minutes Choice of oils.
Hot stone massage is a specialty massage where the therapist uses smooth, heated basalt stones as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, more quickly.
This treatment is one of the most deeply relaxing treatments you can have. First, the therapist warms up the body with traditional Swedish massage, then massages you while holding a heated stone. As the stone cools, the therapist replaces it with another and she will use many stones of various shapes and sizes during the treatment.
Heated stones are placed at specific points along your spine, in the palms of your hand, on your belly, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body.
The therapist will always check that you are comfortable with the heat of the stones before she begins and during the massage.
The heat from the stones helps your muscles relax, allowing the massage therapist to manipulate your deep tissues more effectively. Overly tense muscles can hinder the massage procedure, so if your muscles are extremely tight or stiff, the heated stones may provide the extra relaxation you need for the massage to be beneficial in releasing tension and easing sore muscles.
Hot Stone back and neck massage
£45.00 40 minutes Choice of oils.
Similar to the full-body hot stone massage described above, this treatment focuses specifically on the muscles of the back and neck with all the same benefits for the targeted areas of the body. It can be of particular interest for people who work long hours at a desk.
