Hot stone massage

During a hot stone massage, we recommend wearing only underwear or disposable underwear, which are available for free at the reception. Ladies may consider removing their bras to avoid getting them dirty with massage oil.

A hot stone massage is a comprehensive therapy that includes a series of procedures focusing on a full-body massage - from the feet to a head massage. The entire treatment is performed using heated volcanic stones.

Based on feedback from our satisfied customers, we recommend booking this 90 to 120-minute massage session to achieve the maximum relaxation and therapeutic effect.

If you experience any discomfort or pain during the hot stone massage, please inform your therapist immediately. Our experienced therapists will adjust the intensity of the massage to suit your individual needs and will focus on problematic areas.

Our massages are designed based on proven methods and are continually refined based on your feedback to ensure maximum satisfaction and effectiveness.

Hot stone masssage is highly recommended for the reason that it uses the warming power of lava stones:

• Relaxation and Prevention: Once every 4-6 weeks to maintain relaxation and prevent muscle tension.
• Chronic Issues: Once every 2–3 weeks for chronic pain or stress.
• Rehabilitation: Once a week for specific health problems after consulting with a specialist.
• Intense Stress: Twice a month during particularly stressful periods for relaxation and recovery.

If you play sports and need a regular massage, we recommend a combination of deep tissue massage once a week.

Lava stone massage, an ancient technique, has its roots in various cultures around the world. In ancient China, hot stones were used to balance the body's energy pathways, while in India they were part of Ayurvedic medicine, harmonizing body and spirit. Indians in North America used hot stones in sweat lodges for spiritual cleansing, and in Japan "ishiyu" therapy treated muscle pain and fatigue.

The healing power of heat: The benefits of heat from lava stones

These cultures have discovered that the heat from the stones penetrates deep into the muscles, increasing blood flow and releasing tension, thereby improving flexibility and reducing pain. The lava stones, made of basalt, retain heat for long periods of time, allowing the therapist to work deep into the muscles without excessive pressure, bringing the client a deep sense of calm and well-being.

• The History and Origins of Hot Stone Massage

As the lava stones are heated to a certain temperature before the massage, it is important that clients are informed about this process. The stones may be hot but should never cause discomfort to the client. If you are sensitive to temperature or concerned about hot stones, you can check the temperature of the stone before starting the massage.

Always alert the therapist if you feel uncomfortable or have any concerns. At Eden's Garden, your comfort is our priority and we are ready to adapt the temperature of the stones to your individual needs.

We recommend adding our seasonal aromatherapy oils to your hot stone massage. The heat from the stones allows the oils to penetrate deeper into the skin and muscles, significantly enhancing their effectiveness.
