Having a stay-cation? 

Want to shut your eyes and imagine lying on the beach with the sun on your back? 

Why not come and have a hot stone massage. I'm running a special offer from 7th to 10th August 

60 minutes for £30 - a real bargain!

  

Hot stone massage is often thought of as a treatment solely to provide relaxation and pampering. However, used as tools to heat or cool tissues and muscles, a treatment can be so much more. The stones are smooth basalt and can either be heated in water or frozen.

The benefits of heat include:

• an increase in local circulation bringing nutrition and removing waste
• an increase in lymphatic fluid movement removing damaged cellular debris
• aiding relaxation of muscles
• acting as a natural pain killer
• increasing the ability to therapeutically stretch tissue and muscle

The benefits of cold include:

• healing time is reduced owing to a slowing of cellular metabolism
• swelling and heat from new injuries is reduced
• pain is reduced as sensory signals are slowed and pain tolerance is increased
• muscle soreness and tightness is reduced

There are also many benefits to alternating the application of heat and cold to the body. The use of hot and cold in quick succession provides a flushing of the blood and tissue fluids.

So whether you want to feel some lovely heat on your body, be cooled down (it could be hot next week..) or address some aches and pains a stone massage could be the perfect solution.
