Hot Stone Reflexology

Hot Stone Reflexology is a truly indulgent treatment which takes reflexology to a new level, helping you feel more relaxed, rebalanced and revitalised. The heat from the stones penetrates to a deeper level and can reach up to 7cms into the superficial layer of muscle. It is estimated that one stroke of a hot stone is worth five strokes with the hand! It is also believed to yield five times deeper and five times longer lasting effects compared to a “normal” reflexology treatment.

The stones I use are basalt, a volcanic rock, which due to its density retains heat well. Stones are firstly used to massage the lower legs relieving any tension in the calf muscles and helping to enhance energy flow. Smaller stones are then used to work the reflex areas and points of the feet. The heat from the stones quickly opens the reflex pathways bringing about a much deeper level of relaxation than reflexology alone. And of course, the temperature of the stones can be adjusted according to the needs and preference of the client. The stones are not transferred directly from the heater onto the skin and the stones are always cleansed between clients.
