What Is Deep Tissue Massage?

Deep Tissue Massage targets the deeper layers of muscle, fascia and connective tissue.
It works slowly and precisely to release tight areas, break down adhesions and improve circulation in the muscles that feel stiff or overloaded.

This is not a “spa massage” — it’s a focused, therapeutic session designed to correct muscular imbalance and restore natural movement.

What Is Hot Stone Massage?

During Hot Stone Massage, smooth basalt stones are warmed to a comfortable temperature and used alongside traditional massage techniques.
The heat penetrates deeply into the muscles, allowing them to soften without strong pressure.

This makes the treatment both therapeutic and gently calming.

Who Is This Treatment For?

Hot Stone Massage is ideal if you:

  • feel stressed or overstimulated

  • experience muscle tension but prefer gentle pressure

  • have poor circulation

  • struggle with cold hands/feet

  • feel mentally exhausted

  • want deep relaxation without deep tissue pressure

  • want to unwind after travel or a long week

  • enjoy warmth and slow, soothing massage

This treatment is suitable for most clients, including those who prefer mild to medium pressure.

How Hot Stone Massage Works

The heat from the stones helps:

  • relax tight muscles

  • improve circulation

  • soften fascia

  • calm the nervous system

  • increase joint mobility

  • melt away stress

  • support deeper relaxation

Stones are used on:

  • back

  • shoulders

  • neck

  • legs

  • arms

  • optional feet

Pressure is always adapted to your preference.

Benefits of Hot Stone Massage

  • deeply relaxing warm sensation

  • reduced muscle tension

  • improved blood flow and lymphatic movement

  • less stress and nervous system overload

  • better sleep quality

  • improved comfort in cold weather

  • “melted” feeling after the session

  • grounding and emotional calm

Many clients feel more balanced, lighter and warmer for hours after their session.

What to Expect During the Treatment

  • gentle warming of the stones

  • slow, flowing strokes

  • oil applied to the skin for smooth movements

  • a choice of more heat or less heat

  • a focus on comfort, calm and deep rest

  • optional combination with classic massage techniques

The treatment room is warm, quiet and peaceful.

How Many Sessions Are Recommended?

Hot Stone Massage works beautifully as:

  • a one-off relaxation reset

  • a monthly wellbeing routine

  • a seasonal treatment during stress or winter tiredness

For chronic tension, you can combine Hot Stone with Deep Tissue or Personalised Massage.
