More information

What's Included

A targeted treatment designed to release tension quickly and comfortably.

  • Consultation to pinpoint tension and set comfort levels.
  • Smooth heated stones to warm muscles and settle the nervous system.
  • Targeted massage for back, neck and shoulders, including shoulder blades and base of skull.
  • Pressure and heat adjusted to your preference throughout.
  • Optional gentle stretches to support posture.
  • Personalised aftercare to extend the benefits.

Who It's For

Perfect if you hold stress across the shoulders, work at a desk, drive often or feel tightness from busy days. It suits anyone seeking deep relief without very firm pressure, as the heat allows effective work with comfort.

If you are pregnant, or have circulatory issues, neuropathy, skin sensitivity or recent injury, please seek professional advice before booking. If you are unsure, check with your GP first.

Duration & Appointment Timing

This is a focused service designed to deliver meaningful results within a single session. Your appointment includes a brief consultation and calm time to settle at the end.

If you prefer deeper or gentler work, we adjust the pace to keep within your booking while prioritising results. Please arrive a few minutes early to begin relaxed.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Drink water, rest and keep warm. Avoid alcohol, very hot baths, saunas and strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. Mild tenderness can occur as tight areas release, which should ease within 24 hours.

From the next day, use gentle neck and shoulder stretches and maintain good posture. For ongoing relief, many clients benefit from regular sessions every three to four weeks, or more frequently during periods of high stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which areas are treated?
We focus on the upper back, shoulders and neck. We can also work around the shoulder blades and the base of the skull to ease tension that contributes to headaches.
Is the pressure adjustable and will it be painful?
Yes. Heat lets us reach deeper layers with less force, and both pressure and stone temperature are adjusted throughout to keep you comfortable.
Is it suitable if I am pregnant or have a health condition?
Hot stone treatments are not advised during pregnancy. If you have circulatory issues, neuropathy, skin sensitivity, recent injury or are under medical care, please seek advice before booking.
How should I prepare and what should I wear?
Arrive well hydrated and avoid heavy meals or alcohol beforehand. You will be professionally draped; the back area is uncovered while the rest of you remains covered for warmth and privacy.
What is the difference between hot stones and a standard massage?
Warm stones pre-soften muscles so we can release stubborn knots with less pressure. Many clients find this approach more relaxing while still achieving deep, lasting relief.
