Heat does something to the muscles that hands can't always do. When the body warms up, the muscles stop resisting, and the masseur can work them deeper without causing pain. This is the principle behind hot stone massage.
How the procedure works
We use smooth basalt stones that are heated in water to a comfortable temperature. Some of the stones are placed along the back, on the palms and feet, so that the heat gradually penetrates the tissues. With others, the masseur works as an extension of his hands: kneading the back, shoulders, neck, legs, slowly passing through the areas where the most tension has accumulated.
The session lasts 90 minutes. This is enough time to work the whole body without rushing and allow the nervous system to really switch. Before starting, the masseur will clarify where you feel tightness and select the intensity for you.
What will you feel?
During the massage, most guests notice that the habit of keeping their shoulders raised gradually disappears, and breathing becomes slower and deeper. After the procedure, the body feels lighter, the muscles are relaxed, and the head is calm. Many note that they sleep better the next night.
Heat increases blood circulation and helps muscles recover, so massage is well suited for those who spend a lot of time at the computer, experience chronic tension in the back and neck, exercise actively, or simply haven't had time for themselves in a long time.
Contraindication
The procedure is not performed during pregnancy, with elevated temperature, acute inflammation, skin damage in the massage area, varicose veins and thrombosis, cancer, uncontrolled hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in the acute stage. If you have any chronic diagnoses, please inform us about them when making an appointment, and we will tell you whether this massage is suitable for you or offer an alternative.
How to supplement
Hot stone massage can be combined with accommodation in hotels, a walk in the forest or lunch at our restaurantso that recovery lasts not just 90 minutes, but a whole day.
