During a hot stone massage I will place warm stones on the body, or under it – they are surprisingly soothing and comfortable to lie on – and then I will work over the muscles using stones of different sizes, and using a variety of techniques.
The exact treatment will depend on your needs and wishes but may include soothing deep strokes with warm stones, light tapping with the stones, deep work using the stones to release tension or simply the more familiar massage ‘kneading’ movements, but with the added bonus of heat.
For a full body massage, in addition to the back I can work on arms and hands, legs and feet, and the neck and face, but there is no set routine and we will discuss what you like and dislike before we begin.
