How does Hot stone massage work?
A typical Hot stone massage session
A typical Hot Stone Massage at the Westoe Practice, South Shields can be for 60 or 90 minutes, and can be a full-body or back massage. The session will start with a brief consultation, review of symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle, and can be tailored to your needs. Your therapist will also discuss any particular areas you to focus on or areas to avoid before they begin.
The therapist will begin your massage by applying warm oil to the body, which allows the hot stones to glide smoothly along the muscles. The hots stones are used alongside hands-on massage techniques to soothe and deeply relax the muscles, boost circulation, and ease aches and pains.
Clients are encouraged to return regularly to maximise benefits of the treatment and to give themselves the time needed to destress and relax.

After the hot stones have relaxed the muscles, the massage therapist may put down the stones and use her hands to directly massage the skin. The hot stones may then be placed back on to the body and left for a short period of time. You are then asked to turn over onto your back. The massage therapist may place small hot stones between your toes or in the palm of your hand and repeats the sequence.
