Thermal Stone Fusion Massage

A health and wellbeing consultation, including discussion of your medical history, must be completed before your first treatment with Julia.

A deeply relaxing treatment which can help to calm a busy mind and reduce stress and anxiety, Thermal Stone Fusion uses smooth, heated basalt stones held in the therapist’s hands, combined with Holistic massage techniques. The heat provided by the stones helps the therapist to work at a deeper level, using less pressure and therefore causing less discomfort.

The treatment will alternate between stone and hands on massage using Swedish, deep tissue, lymph drainage and trigger point techniques, to aid relaxation and gently ease muscle and joint pain and tension.  Warm basalt stones may also be placed on key points of the body to calm the nervous system and bring a feeling of balance to your inner energy.  Occasionally cold marble stones may also be used in areas where you experience inflammation and swelling.
