Ancient civilizations have been using hot stones for massage for over 3,000 years, more recently the Native Americans warmed the stones by the fire to treat aching muscles.
Hot Stone Massage in Bristol
Deep relaxation meets therapeutic healing
Hot Stone Massage is a deeply relaxing and therapeutic treatment that combines the soothing techniques of Swedish Massage (or Holistic Massage) with the healing power of heated Basalt stones — iron-rich volcanic rocks known for their ability to retain heat.
The warmth of the stones allows muscles to relax more quickly, enabling deeper and more effective massage work. This results in both physical relief and mental calm. The stones are used as an extension of the therapist’s hands and are also placed on key points of the body — such as the back, shoulders, face, palms, and feet — to enhance energy flow and balance.
