What is Hot Stone Therapy?
Hot Stone Therapy at our affiliated spa is a package that includes hot stone massage and other side treatments such as foot scrub, facial care, and head massage.
Hot stone massage is a type of relaxing massage therapy that uses smooth, heated stones to apply on specific points on the body while massaging. With the heat and weight of the stones, it enhances the better experience of relaxation to the muscles, allowing the therapists to apply deeper pressure to those areas without causing discomfort.
There are 6 types of aroma oils available for you to choose; the procedure will be done along with hot stones for the synergistic effect of detoxing your skin. Heat increases white blood cells, improves metabolism, and discharges waste products effectively. A completely private room will be set to provide you with the ideal relaxing time.
