Although the hot stone treatment dates back to ancient times, it is still popular today. The experience of this massage is truly unique and incomparable, according to those who have tried it, as well as the massage therapists themselves, and the results and benefits can be varied, benefiting both physical and mental health.
It is classified as a holistic massage, which combines many different types of massage and requires the practitioner to be proficient in several techniques. Holistic massage is performed with the aim of creating wholeness – it does not divide the human body into separate parts.
It starts with a segmental spinal massage, then moves on to the face and finally finishes with foot reflexology. It is in this sequence that the most important points of the body are best affected. However, it is particularly important to note that this type of massage involves a touch of the hand and of the mind. This means that it is not only the technique that is important, but also the mood and atmosphere created by the massage therapist. The specialists working at the Black Coast Spa have mastered these techniques, so when you are in their hands, you can rest assured that you are getting the best quality massage.
Hot stone massage is considered an alternative medicine and is often used as an aid to solve various health problems. Hot stone massage has many benefits – it can help relieve muscle tension and pain, it can reduce muscle spasms and increase flexibility and range of movement, and it can strengthen the immune system and improve sleep quality.
Of course, it is not only for the body, but also for the soul – it harmonises the flow of energy, relieves tension and soothes, reduces anxiety and stress.
