Remedial hot stone fusion is a mixture of remedial massage techniques incorporating smooth, flat, hot stones warming up the body, encouraging deeper muscle relaxation.
The stones are natural basalt stones – a type of volcanic rock believed to be therapeutic and have marvellous healing energy. They are high in iron, magnesium and other minerals, allowing them to retain their heat for extended periods of time. The stones are heated to between 55 to 60 degrees and can be adjusted to suit each person’s needs.
