Hot stone massage

If you are wanting the ultimate relaxation massage experience, a hot stone massage is the perfect solution. The benefit of a hot stone massage is that the body is specifically warmed and heated using therapeutic stones, prior to commencing the actual hands-on massage. This ensures that your body tissue is gently warmed, assisted into relaxation, and prepared for the massage before the hands-on treatment, which can in some circumstances make a session more effective.

Each treatment session is customised specifically to meet your individual needs. Therapeutic hot stones, warmed prior to the session, are strategically placed around and on your body to support your warming and circulation requirements.

This hands-on massage can be tailored to be either a relaxing/general massage, or a sports and deep tissue massage. Therapeutic hot stones are often incorporated throughout the massage to actually do some of the massage.

Duration:

Sessions can be 60, 75, 90 minutes, or 2 hours.

Location:

Level 3, Plimmer Towers, 2–6 Gilmer Terrace, Wellington.
Mobile massage service not available.
