This is how you can benefit from a hot stone massage at Himalaya Therapy Spa in Eastbourne.
The therapist will use the warm stones to relax and loosen tissue that might be damaged or muscles that might be tensed up. The flat heated stones are put in strategic locations on your body.
Usually we employ basalt stones; these are placed strategically in vital body areas to address your problems. The areas might be your tummy or along your spine, or on your chest and (being very careful) on your face. Putting the stones on your palms and particularly on your feet and toes can have a truly therapeutic effect to address your whole body and constitution.
The optimum temperature for the stones is between 130 and 145 degrees which will be a pleasant sensation for you. The Eastbourne spar therapist will use long strokes as well as circular motions and a kneading or vibratory style of movement. Depending on your condition and your needs, it’s possible that the therapist will then apply cold stones towards the end of the session, these can have a calming effect on blood vessels that may be temporarily engorged meaning that the skin needs to be soothed slowly.
Hot stone massage can make your joints more flexible, meaning you can move better in normal life or perhaps in sport. People in Seaford and Eastbourne and surrounding areas can benefit from a greater range of motion even if this is just to allow you to take longer walks on the lovely South Downs in East Sussex.
Stress relief
Many medical associations have found that massage therapy with hot stones can relieve stress. There is a consensus that massage of this kind can promote sleep and improve sleep quality. People might find they can stop taking their sleeping pills after regular hot stone massage sessions. This is one of many solutions that the spa has for insomnia. You may find that after hot stone massage therapy, you wake the next day feeling more restored and with a greater level of alertness making you ready for an active day.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is one of the many conditions involving chronic pain that can be managed if not cured by hot stone massage. Massage with the stones can ease pain trigger points and mean that pain signals are no longer transmitted through the body but replaced with positive energy through feel-good channels.
Rheumatoid arthritis can be addressed though not cured with the pressure involved in hot stone massage. One of the benefits can be that people benefit from greater gripping strength as well as an improved range of motion.
Eastbourne massage with basalt stones
Of course the comfort that comes with human touch from an experienced and charismatic therapist has both physical and psychological benefits.
This kind of massage can also be beneficial for immune response systems. The hormones that control blood pressure and the retention of water can be altered for the better through massage.
So if your symptoms include lack of sleep or poor quality sleep, pain and tension in the muscles and joints, a session of massage in Eastbourne with these hot stones could be a really good choice for you.
