๐ฅ Hot Stone Massage in Alanya
Warm Volcanic Basalt Therapy for Deep Muscle Relaxation & Circulation
A deeply soothing massage experience combining smooth, heated volcanic stones with gentle massage techniques. The warmth penetrates deep into muscles, melting away tension, improving blood flow, and creating a profound sense of calm and well-being.
โจ What is Hot Stone Massage?
Hot Stone Massage uses thermotherapyโthe healing power of heatโto relax muscles more effectively than traditional massage alone. Smooth, water-heated basalt stones (rich in iron, which retains heat beautifully) are placed on key energy points of your body and also used as extension tools for massage strokes.
At MediCare Wellness Center, our therapists maintain precise stone temperatures (between 120-140ยฐF / 50-60ยฐC) and alternate between hot and cold stones to stimulate circulation and reduce inflammation.
