Massage has been used for hundreds of years to aid emotional and physical stress, fatigue, insomnia and general aches and pains. As time has progressed massage has also been used as a treat. With our heated bed and a warm mitts to remove the excess oil we aim to give your body a treat as well as help. If you prefer a more indulgent full treat, please feel free to have a look at our Thalgo treatments.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stones are fantastic for warming up tight, sore muscles but also fantastic at increasing circulation to an area and inducing relaxation. Effleurage movements and stone placement create repetitive movements that will relax the mind as well. The stones act as an extension of the therapist hands enabling them to work deeper on an area, usually without increasing the amount of pressure used.
