Hot Stone Massage
What is hot stone massage?
Hot stone massage is a relaxing form of massage therapy, proven to ease tense muscles and damaged soft tissues.
During a hot stone massage, heated basalt stones are placed on specific areas of the body. Basalt, is volcanic rock that retains heat.
These stones are placed along the spine, stomach, and base of the neck, as well as used in massage techniques to ease muscular tension and promote healing.
Benefits of Hot Stone Massage:
- 1. Relieves muscle tension and pain
Heat has long been used to ease muscle tension and pain. It helps increase blood flow to the affected area. It may also reduce muscle spasms and increase flexibility and range of motion.
- 2. Reduces stress and anxiety
Massage therapy effectively reduces stress. Research has shown that massage improves cardiovascular responses, and significantly reduces stress, pain, tension, and anxiety.
- 3. Promotes sleep
Research shows that massage promotes relaxation and sleep, by increasing serotonin and decreasing cortisol levels. By improving mood and reducing stress, sports massage can create a favorable mental and emotional environment for restful sleep.
“Absolutely magic. Kim’s like a mechanic for your body. Went in with a tight shoulder that was causing me headaches. Had this for over a year and been to two physios through work and sport. After some investigation, Kim found I had tight muscles in my side causing the issue. All sorted now. Delighted!”

I initially went for my headaches, which I was having almost everyday of the week. Im now down to maybe one a week if that and when I do now it’s due to a build up of stress. My neck felt like concrete before my first appointment and I don’t experience the agony of that anymore which was triggering my headaches. I also told her about my shoulder pain I have been getting recently and she has been treating me for that too and in a couple of weeks it has become a million times better. Kim has treated something that I have previously been to the doctors for a number of times and I don’t get anywhere with them for weeks before I get any sort of treatment. I wouldn’t go to anyone else ever, I feel so much better in such a short space of time. Literally life changing for me.
I work a very physically demanding job and suffer from an achy, painful back and neck. I should have booked in ages ago, but recently had my first session with Kim. Within minutes she diagnosed what my issues were and what was causing them. Kim made me feel very welcome, she was very professional but at the same time was very easy to get on with personally. I've come away from my first session feeling incredible and will definitely be booking in regularly. 10/10 would recommend.
After various appointments with Physio's, Osteopaths etc I'd lost hope of ever being pain free.....and then I found KP Chiropractic! Kim diagnosed the underlying root of my pain and worked on that. Within days I noticed a huge difference and for the first time in a long time, I'm pain free. I can't recommend Kim highly enough!
Kim has been really helpful and understanding with my fitness and mobility goals, always supportive and incredibly knowledgeable. The results I've seen are great and would thoroughly recommend KP sport to anyone finding mobility issues.
Kim has really helped get my health and fitness back on track. After years of chronic pain, 2 hip replacements, a lower disc problem and arthritis I was struggling mentally and physically. After 6 treatments with Kim and regular daily stretching I am feeling so much better, more flexible with less pain and a much brighter outlook. I cannot recommend KP chiropractic enough. Very thorough and professional service with proven positive results for me. Thank you so much Kim
