HOT STONE MASSAGE IN BRIGHTON
Hot Stone Massage
This is a deeply relaxing massage, which includes the use of mainly hot stones, & sometimes cold stones if requested by clients. Massage techniques like deep tissue & Swedish, that use both forearms for stronger pressure & hands for lighter pressure are incorporated in this massage.
Stones are placed over the drape on the body & also placed directly on the body,
Fast paced strokes are used, slow paced strokes are used & still work is all part of the treatment. There is a mixture of techniques that both use stones, hands & forarms.
The variation of the strokes used within the massage, means that clients can't follow the techniques & process & therefore can let go during the massage & relax completely on a deep level, being in their bodies rather than in their minds or overthinking.

This is the application of alternating of both hot &cold stones during the treatment, this technique is beneficial as it can help to pump fresh blood in the area, so the affected area is repaired & regenerated. This process can reduce swelling also by pumping the lymphatic vessel.
Yasmin uses Vulsini stones which are natural basalt stones found in river beds in Peru. These are volcanic stones found in river beds, tumbled to create a smooth even surface to use on the body. Vulsini stones have natural minerals like magnesium & iron in them. They really conduct & absorb both heat/cold really well, perfect for a hot stones massage. This characteristic of retaining both hot/cold means they can release the heat & cold really gradually into the body. The Vulsini Basalt stones have great healing properties & positive energy that they bring to the treatment.
Every part of the body is worked on as described above, with the mixture of using stones & the massage techniques listed above. Each limb of the body can be worked on for an equal amount of time. However if there is an area of increased tension such as lower back or neck & the client prefers extra time on this area, than this can be accommodated during the session.
