KEEP WARM AND WONDERFUL
It's definitely getting chillier, and we're
all trying to seek out that extra bit of warmth. A massage is a
wonderful way to get the blood flowing around your body, and the heated
massage table we have at the salon means that you'll stay wonderfully
toasty even as you relax.
But if you want to chase away every last chill, then a hot stone massage is the perfect choice of treatment.
WHY CHOOSE HOT STONES?
A massage with hot stones is going to
promote even greater relaxation than a regular massage. By placing warm
stones at key points on the body, the heat from these stones will relax
the targeted muscles to a greater extent and enable your therapist to
work on muscles buried deep down. This has the advantage of releasing
additional tension without any extra pressure.
Furthermore, the heat from the stones helps the blood vessels to expand, promoting better circulation throughout the body.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
At Roman Beauty, we use basalt stones
because, in addition to heating well, basalt is said to possess healing
properties. We warm the stones in water and then place them along the
spine under the energy chakras to help create balance within the body.
When the massage is over, the stones are cleansed in saltwater and left
to dry naturally to ensure maximum energy levels are maintained.
ANCIENT TREATMENT, MODERN BENEFITS
Heated stones have been used as an aid to
massage for 5,000 years. The practice was initially called Ayurveda and
was employed by Hindus in India. Later on, both the Chinese and the
Hawaiians found that heated stones could assist in promoting whole-body
relaxation
Today, a hot stone massage can be used for those who suffer from chronic
muscle pain such as arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as
those who just want a more effective massage.
