A good Shiatsu or Swedish massage may be the key to ease that tension and make one feel ready to tackle another day at work or school.
But for those who want a variation from this massage, there is another relaxing type of massage—stone massage. This technique of using hot stones for healing dates back to the ancient times. These hot stones made of basalt are known to improve blood circulation and calm the nervous system.
The stones are immersed in hot water and heated and then applied to the key points of the body with enough pressure from the attending therapist to relax the muscles.
The stone massage is good for people who suffer from back pain, arthritis, anxiety, insomnia and depression.
Unwinding with a soothing stone massage is not a luxury but a fitting reward after a long day, at Grand Royal Spa.
