There’s something almost magical about the warmth of smooth stones melting tension away. Hot stones massage isn’t new - it’s a centuries-old practice used by cultures worldwide to heal, relax, and restore energy. At Phoenix Therapy Galway, we bring that tradition to life with a modern understanding of anatomy and stress management.
How It Works
During a hot stones session, heated basalt stones are placed on key points of the body while your therapist performs flowing massage strokes. The heat penetrates deep into the muscles, allowing tight areas to release more easily than with manual pressure alone. The result is a deeper, more soothing form of relaxation.
Benefits That Go Beyond Relaxation
Relieves chronic muscle tension by improving circulation and oxygen delivery.
Calms the nervous system and helps reduce anxiety and insomnia.
Supports recovery after physical activity or long days at a desk.
Boosts mood and energy levels by releasing built-up tension.
Many of our Galway clients say hot stones feel like the perfect reset - especially during colder months when muscles tend to tighten and energy dips.
Who It’s For
Hot stones massage is ideal for anyone who wants to unwind deeply but doesn’t love the intensity of deep tissue pressure. It’s particularly helpful for stress-related tension, fibromyalgia, or fatigue. Pregnant clients and those with certain health conditions should check with their therapist first, but in most cases, it’s a safe and gentle treatment option.
