What Is A Hot Stones Massage And Why Might You Enjoy One

 

If you have never tried one before, then booking a hot stones massage as your next treatment at this massage salon in Manchester is worth considering. But you may feel that you would like to know a little more about how it works and even why some hot stones treatments vary at different Manchester massage salons. Of course, they all use heated stones to massage the body, but in some spas, it is more about letting the stones do the work by placing them at a series of points on the body, or energy lines,rather than the therapist using them as an addition to her technique. Our experienced Manchester masseuses use the heat from the stones to accentuate their treatment and help to relieve tension, improve your circulation, and promote a deep and satisfying state of relaxation.

What are the benefits of this massage style?

When you experience an authentic hot stone massage from one of our qualified therapists at this Northern Quarter therapy centre, she will be using smooth pre-heated basalt stonesto deliver an effective massage at a light to medium depth of pressure as indicated by the client. Not as in some massage places in Manchester where the stones are used to simply glide across the body, here, our therapists ensure you receive a full massage. As the stones cool, they are replaced by another from the heated water bath, and you can be confident that all stones are sanitised after each use.  The heat from the stones loosens the muscles and tendons, which makes them easier to massage and improves their flexibility, which can help prevent future minor injuries. This heat source combined with the skill of the masseuse as she uses Swedish massage techniques,helps to relieve pain and tension and to improve circulation. This naturally allows for the natural production of endorphins and serotonin, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety.This massage type is especially appreciated by clients during the winter months.

When you are thinking of this treatment always consider your health

As with all of our treatments at Manchester Massage, we must point out that if you have certain conditions, such as bleeding disorders, recent burns, open wounds, a history of blood clots, are diabetic, or indeed are pregnant, then this massage may not be suitable for you and all clients are encouraged to consult their medical practitioner if in any doubt. For the majority of clients, a hot stone massage is considered to be perfectly safe when given by a trained therapist and delivers on intense muscle relaxation without the need for a deep tissue massage treatment. A hot stones massage is extremely popular with clients who feel the winter cold or who have cold feet due to poor circulation. Perhaps now that you know more about this option and how it works, you may be interested in trying this for your next massage.
