How can hot stone massage benefit me?
In addition to deep relaxation, there are many benefits to having a hot stone massage, including
Stress Relief
Massage is an effective method for dealing with stress.
Decreased muscle spasm and tension
Heat is a well recognised natural pain reliever. When heat is applied to an area, the blood flow to that region increases and can help alleviate spasms and improve mobility.
Hot Stone massage is not recommended for those who are pregnant, have high blood pressure or are diabetic.

Active Isolated Stretching
Flexibility and proper stretching play a crucial role in enhancing performance and rehabilitation as well as an important role in overall wellness. Flexibility is specific to each joint. Work or exercise requiring repeated overuse of the same muscles day in day out confines joints within a restricted range of motion and tends to reduce flexibility. Active Isolated Stretching is an effective technique that can easily be learned.

Linda H ★★★★★I first visited Abdul a few years ago with numbness in my hand which I had for a long time. He quickly diagnosed the problem started from my neck and after a few sessions I was pain free. This has been maintained by regular visits. I recently had severe pain in my upper leg which Abdul managed to pinpoint and treat immediately although I had suffered on and off for months. I cannot recommend him highly enough and also the pre-treatment massages from his team. Always professional and accommodating while taking a holistic approach to treatment.
