Hot Stone Reflexology
A Hot Stone Reflexology treatment consists of a normal reflexology treatment which is adapted to use warming preheated basalt stones.
The hot stones enable the therapist to work deeply but at the same time work gently. The combination of reflexology and deep heat allows for a deeply relaxing and beneficial treatment.
Benefits of hot stone reflexology
⟡ Deeply relaxing and stress relieving ⟡
⟡ Heat penetrates to a much deeper level than finger pressure, reaching around 7cm into the tissues. This brings about physiological changes as well as improving energy flow ⟡
⟡ Improves blood circulation & lymphatic drainage ⟡
⟡ Promotes the release & elimination of toxins ⟡
⟡ Boosts immunity and the lymphatic function ⟡
How does it work?
The heat of the stones penetrates deep into the muscle tissue, allowing the feet to relax 4-5 times faster than in a standard reflexology treatment. The heat from the stones help the energy flow through the body and promotes a meditative and calm state.
