The 'Hot Rocks' Sports or Deep Tissue Massage

WHAT IS THE 'HOT ROCKS' MASSAGE?

We've taken our Sports, Deep Tissue Massage and Fascial release techniques and adapted them to be used with the heat from hot basalt stones. 

This is something completely unique to us, delivered by  Stefan Mihaila.
 WHY IS IT DIFFERENT?

Traditional hot stone massages use quick sweeping techniques to transfer the excess heat from the stones to warm up the skin. This is because initially the stones are too warm to work slowly. 

One of the things we do differently is to heat the stones to a specific temperature that allows us to work more slowly and therefore in a more detailed manner right from the start, without the risk of the stones being too hot. 
 OUR TECHNIQUE

We also use the static weight of the stones, in conjunction with their heat to target specific areas of muscle and fascia. This not only acts as a natural pain-relief mechanism, but warming the area in this manner means we get results using less direct pressure. 

Lastly, we use specific fascial release techniques in conjunction with the stones, to help improve joint mobility, reduce soft tissue restrictions and therefore decrease pain.

Why use Hot Stones for Sports Massage?


Physically the sports massage with hot stones increases the recovery of tensions and muscular pain more than 50% compared to the advanced sports massage.

The heat penetrates very deep into the bones, muscles and ligaments. The heat of hot stones, multiplied by the energetic and revitalising properties, act directly on muscles and bones as a result of an immediate decrease in pain.

After activation in the muscle-bone regeneration process, the hot stones help to improve bone nutrition and soothe inflammation or bone degeneration.
