Hot Stone Massage
Anyone who runs cold, or who finds firm pressure too much
Smooth basalt stones hold heat for a long time. Nida warms them, places some along the back and holds others in her hands to work with, so the stone glides where a palm would drag.
The heat lets muscle settle without much force, which makes it a good choice if deep tissue is more than you want. It is also the one people book in January.
What happens
- Stones are heated and temperature-checked before the session starts.
- Warm oil massage to begin.
- Stones placed along the back and worked through the shoulders, back and legs.
- Pressure stays moderate throughout. The heat is doing the work.
- Give yourself a few quiet minutes at the end rather than rushing straight out.
