Massage aux pierres chaudes

Hot Stone Massage (massage with hot stones) is a relaxing massage which includes the use of special volcanic stones.

It is usually combined with the classic Swedish massage but it can be integrated in  Deep Tissue & Shiatsu treatments. At first, the hot stones transmit heat to the body, placed on the receiver’s body (directly on the body or on a fabric). The stones are usually placed on the back alongside the spinal cord , on the places of the “chakra” , on the posterior femoral , on the hands and on the soles. As the stones emit heat, the therapist applies different massage techniques to the receiver with the hot , immersed with oils stones. The heat from the stones relaxes the muscles, stimulates blood circulation in the area and promotes the therapeutic procedure. The stones comprise tools of body massage.
