The heat of hot stones warms and relaxes muscles, enhancing all types of massage. Heat from silky, smooth lava stones acts as a catalyst in loosening muscles and joints. If you want deep work with less pain, the stones prepare the tissue and help with this. Alternatively, if you like deep pressure, the stones can be used to provide the deeper pressure itself. The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system.
Couples can choose from any combination of massages so each person gets their preferred treatment.
