What is Hot Stone Massage?
A form of massage therapy that dates back thousands of years and has been practised by people as diverse as the ancient Egyptians, East Indians, Chinese, Native Americans and Hawaiians.
Hot Stone Massage has to be one of the most enjoyable and relaxing therapeutic massages available at Me-time For Men. The basalt stones are from Peru and this mineral’s ability to retain heat is phenomenal. It’s a wonderfully relaxing massage designed to work on muscular tension at the deepest level.
During this treatment, smooth, basalt (volcanic) stones that have been heated in water are used in two ways; some stones are placed at a perfect temperature on specific energy centres, known as chakras, along the body to align and re-balance the body’s natural energy flow, whilst other stones are used by the therapist to perform the body massage.
The heat of the stones penetrates deep into the muscle tissue allowing the muscles to relax 4-5 times quicker than in a standard body massage, easing muscular tension and revitalising the muscle tissue by increasing blood circulation.
