Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones. They are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well. It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat helps tight muscles release. The heat from the stones relaxes muscles, increase the blood flow to the area being worked on which further accelerates the healing process. This increase in circulation and the relaxation of the muscles also aids in mental relaxation. Mental relaxation is key when a Therapist is attempting to work into deeper muscles of the body.

In the water we only weigh 15% of our body weight due to the water's buoyancy factor. This makes it the perfect place to exercise for the beginners or for someone who needs the support of the water to lessen the impact on joints. It allows a freedom of movement and let's you perform exercises that are nearly impossible with gravity. Buoyancy also provides us with automatic abdominal work. Without even thinking about it you are tightening you core muscles to hold yor place in the pool.
