Relax with hot stones
Hot stone massage is said to be a blissful and effective body treatment. The editors could use some relaxation and decide to try this massage with stones of 45 degrees. Can we go back to work completely relaxed?
For the massage we drive to Plus Products in Garden. 11 years ago they introduced the hot stone massage in the Netherlands. But now this form of massage has become an indispensable part of beauty salons.
Scrub and laying stones
The massage starts with a scrub of the back. Dirt is thus removed and the skin feels pleasantly soft. Then the stones are removed from the warm water bath and first placed on our backs.
This gives a pleasant warmth and relaxation. The stones give a certain pressure, which we can compare with a stretching exercise. We notice this best when we remove the stone.
red spots
When the hot stones are removed from the back, red spots remain on the back. The redder the spot, the more attention should be paid to this area during the massage. With my male colleague it’s the shoulder blades and with me it’s the lower back.
The massage oil has now also been heated in the immersion bath of the stones. The warm oil feels great and ensures that the stones slide well. Furthermore, the essential oil stimulates the elimination of toxins.
The stones feel pleasantly soft. We did not expect this, because they are hard stones after all! They even slide easily over our spine.
The warm stones and the warm oil make it a super comfortable treatment. We lie comfortably relaxed and the heat has a pain-relieving effect. We take advantage of this for the rest of the day.
Expensive massage
We only opted for a back massage. This one takes 45 minutes. But you can also have the whole body treated. This takes one to one and a half hours. Even your feet and face are then massaged with the stones.
