Hot Stone Massage is performed either as a complete full body massage or as a partial massage to treat a specific area. It can be combined with a relaxing massage, a sports or a therapeutic massage according to the needs of the patient.

Depending on the field of application, stones of different sizes and textures are used. The size of the stone for massage depends on the size of the muscle groups. The massage with the stones is done carefully without disturbing manipulations or interruptions. Slow and pleasant movements in combination with the use of precious essential oils have a positive effect on the parasympathetic system. The goal is the complete relaxation and release of muscle and mental tension.

Hot Stone Massage is done with stones that are heated in a water bath, a special heating device, at 50 to 60 degrees Celsius. The main advantage of the heat that is transferred to the stones is the expansion of the blood vessels, which in turn leads to better blood circulation. The resulting optimized perspiration leads to better oxygenation of cells and stimulates lymphatic activity.

Other advantages are:

• Immediate relief from muscle pain

• Improves the symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders (arthritis, cervical syndrome, back pain, sciatica)

• Stress reduction

• Helps with insomnia

• Strengthening the immune system

• Activation of the body's metabolism and detoxification

• Harmonization of mental and physical balance

Hot Stone Massage should be avoided if:

• Fever

•  Skin diseases

• Communicable diseases  

• burns and fresh wounds

• recent surgeries

• Cardiovascular diseases (thrombosis, varicose veins, varicose veins)

• Diabetics should also be alerted, as the feeling of cold / heat is often disturbed. This also applies to severe neuropathy.
