The physical benefits of Kinesiology taping include:
- pain relief, reduction of swelling and inflammation
- accelerated recovery from bruises and contusions
- prevents and/or relives muscle spasms and cramping
- supports injured muscles and joints without restricting range of motion
HOT STONES MASSAGE - FULL BODY
A hot stone massage is a type of massage therapy. It’s used to help you relax and ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissues throughout your body.
During a hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body. The stones are usually made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat.
Hot stones have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation.
Full Body Hot Stones massage is a 90 minute treatment

LAVA SHELLS
Lava Shell massage is a type of heat treatment that uses Tiger-striped clam shells as a massage tool. The clams have been harvested for food in the Philippines for hundreds of years. The shells used to be thrown away, but are now being recycled and used for Lava Shell massage.
Lava Shells massage is greatly enjoyable for anyone with tense muscles, as the heat from the Lava Shells will gently relax and smooth away knots. The shells also give off calcium ions when heated, which transfers to your skin during the massage. Calcium can help to firm and regenerate the skin - which is a nice bonus.
