Release your tension and destress your back
It’s that time of year when we seem to have so much to do and so little time to do it in. Our busy lives generate stress – and stress creates tension. This often means tight shoulders, stiff neck and pain in either your upper or lower back. Most of us just soldier on – and, surprise, surprise, it doesn’t just go away!
A treatment with heated stones is an excellent way to de-stress, relax tight muscles and release tension around the shoulders and lower back. The result for most people is ‘Ahhhhhh – that’s better!’
But that’s not all hot stones can do for you.
It’s also a great way to boost your immune system – naturally. The moist heat alongside the Fascial Effect™ massage techniques can reach deep into soft tissue creating the kind of warmth you can only get from a holiday in the sun.
What else does a hot stone massage do?
Feeling warm to the core can make you mentally and physically stronger to fight against infections this time of year.
Focused movements with hot stones around the neck, chest and ribcage can also release congestion lingering from a cold and so speed up recovery.
People often think the only way to detox is following a strict detox diet and drinking lots and lots of water. However, a treatment with heated stones warms the body to the core and boosts the circulation, encouraging the release of toxins via the lymphatic system and gentle perspiration. This can be energising if you are feeling tired and lethargic.
If stress and overwhelm are affecting the quality of your sleep then hot stone therapy will almost guarantee you a good night’s rest.
There are many good reasons to book yourself in for hot stones therapy regularly, just tell your therapist which one you’re suffering from and know that your body will thank you.
