Hot Stone Massage

The warmth of the basalt stones reaches deeper into the tissue than hands alone. Tense muscles give way without strong pressure being needed, and painful points in the back and neck release. The stones placed on the energy centres have a calming effect, and most guests describe a feeling of deep inner quiet that lasts.

The stones are warmed to around 50 degrees in a water bath. After a short oil massage they glide in long paths over back, legs and arms. Their warmth prepares the tissue, and your therapist then works the loosened areas with her hands. Individual stones are placed along the spine and on the stomach, forehead, palms and feet while other areas are being treated.

For anyone who gets cold easily, suffers from muscular tension or simply wants to switch off completely. In the Cologne winter it is one of our most popular treatments. Not suitable with fever, acute inflammation, varicose veins in the areas treated or during pregnancy.
