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.
Slots are limited so book now!
