What is Remedial Hot Stone Massage?
Most people think hot stones are just for relaxation.
But remedial hot stones are something completely different.
At Whole Body Health & Healing, remedial hot stone massage combines the clinical precision of remedial massage with the deep penetrating warmth of heated basalt stones.
🔥 How is it different from normal remedial massage?
Traditional remedial massage uses hands, forearms and elbows to assess and treat tight muscles, injuries and postural issues.
With remedial hot stones:
✔ Heat softens tight muscle tissue faster
✔ Blood flow increases to restricted areas
✔ Chronic tension releases with less discomfort
✔ We can work deeper — without the same level of pain
For clients who normally find deep tissue work uncomfortable, this is a game changer.
🏃 How is it different from sports massage?
Sports massage is typically:
• Fast paced
• Direct
• Focused on performance and recovery
• Sometimes intense
Remedial hot stones still targets dysfunction and tightness — but the heat allows the nervous system to relax while we treat the problem.
It’s ideal for:
• Chronic neck & shoulder tension
• Lower back stiffness
• Tradies & manual workers
• Desk workers
• Anyone feeling “tight but sensitive”
You get the results of remedial work — with a deeply grounding experience.
If your body feels tight, heavy or constantly switched on… this might be exactly what it needs.
