We offer Hot Stone Therapy treatment here in Bournemouth. It is a form of geothermal hydrotherapy, whereby heated stones, typically made of basalt, to help relax muscles and relieve tension. During the treatment, the hot stones are placed on specific areas of the body (usually along the spine) and the practitioner uses different gliding massage strokes with and without the stones on other areas of the body. The combination of heat and massage is extremely relaxing and can effectively reduce muscle pain and stress for the patient, while helping to increase blood circulation and thus improve sleep quality.
Hot Stone Therapy has ancient roots and was thought to originally be a Hindu practice in India some 5,000 years ago where the Indians placed heated stones on areas of the body to relieve pain and stimulate energy centres to boost overall wellbeing. The Chinese are said to have used it for over 2,000 years to improve organ function and promote energy flow.
Here at Back2Wellbeing, we believe the most effective application of hot stones is incorporated into a full body massage using Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue Massage techniques. We apply luxurious warm oil to the skin, then massage all over with the stones. The heat slowly radiates into the muscles, penetrating deeper than hands, inducing a calm state of relaxation. This expands blood vessels and stimulates healthy levels of blood flow throughout the body. This form of massage is extremely therapeutic and boasts several other health benefits for the patient, such as:
