What is Hot Stone Massage?

Hot Stone Massage is becoming ever popular in the UK. The technique uses heated Basalt Lava stones that warm the client's muscles, allowing a much deeper working of the tissues than a conventional massage as the heat from warm basalt stones penetrate deeply to help loosen and sooth tightened, congested muscles. Stones are chosen to correspond to specific parts of the body, oil is smoothed onto the client and the stone is then worked along the skin in place of the therapist's hand.
