HOW IT WORKS
Hot stone therapy, when combined with sports massage, offers a comprehensive and dynamic method for muscle recovery and performance enhancement.

This combination targets specific areas of the body, offering a more focused treatment that supports faster recovery, reduces muscle soreness, and enhances flexibility.
​
Benefits of hot stones include -
​
Enhanced muscle recovery – The heat from the stones helps to relax tight, fatigued muscles, increases the metabolic rate of tissues, promoting the break down of scar tissue and enhancing the rebuilding of healthy muscle fibres; promoting faster recovery and reducing soreness after intense physical activity.
​
Improved circulation – The warmth of the stones stimulates blood circulation, ensuring that oxygen and nutrients are delivered to muscles more efficiently, while also removing waste products, such as lactic acid from the body, aiding in tissue repair and reducing muscle stiffness.
Targeted pain relief – Hot stones effectively target specific areas of tension, can help decrease localised inflammation, modulate pain signals in the nervous system and stimulate endorphins – which is the body’s natural pain killer.
Improved range of motion – The deep heat relaxes muscles and connective tissues, helping to improve flexibility, prevent injury and enhance overall mobility, which is all crucial for peak athletic performance.
Decrease DOMS – by increasing blood, oxygen and lymphatic circulation, hot stones aids in the removal of toxins and decreases the effects of onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
Reduce stress -By improving circulation, stimulating endorphin release and promoting nervous system balance, hot stone therapy offers a natural way to relax and relive stress.
