Restorative Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage at Castle European Spa is a refined European ritual that melts muscular tension and settles the nervous system with precisely heated basalt stones handled by certified therapists.
Precision Heat Therapy
Stones are warmed to exact, skin-safe temperatures and placed along the spine, hips, and shoulders to encourage circulation and diffuse deep muscular holding before hands-on work begins.
Session Flow
Consultation & Placement
A brief consultation clarifies your focus—deep relaxation, targeted back relief, or full-body reset after travel. Smooth stones rest on key points while your body adjusts to the warmth.
Stone-Assisted Techniques
Therapists alternate between oiled stone glides and hands-on strokes, softening fascia and coaxing tension out gradually without triggering fight-or-flight responses.
Benefits You'll Notice
- Deep muscular easing in the back, neck, and hips without aggressive pressure.
- Improved circulation and soothing full-body warmth that releases stress layer by layer.
- Softer, more supple tissue as heat allows effective work with less intensity.
- A calmer nervous system—ideal for poor sleep, desk tension, or post-flight stiffness.
Session Options & Enhancements
Select 60 minutes for a focused back-of-body reset, or 90 minutes for an unhurried full-body ritual with extra attention for the back, scalp, feet, and hands. On request, add cool-stone contrast for the face or shoulders or pair with subtle aromatherapy for mood support.
After-Care & Safety
Your therapist concludes with hydration guidance, gentle stretches, and at-home tips so the warmth lasts. Please inform us of pregnancy, circulatory concerns, recent injuries, diabetes-related neuropathy, varicose inflammation, skin conditions, or sensitivity to heat so we can adjust temperature, placement, and pressure for complete comfort.
