Hot & Cold Stone Therapy

Eleonora Frolich, Spa Therapist at BSpa by Karin Herzog, values the way each client responds to warmth, cold and the rhythm of touch. In her view, the BSpa Hot and Cold Stone Massage is more than a relaxing massage: it is a complete body experience in which thermal contrast helps create comfort, presence and a renewed feeling of lightness.

• Feels accumulated muscular tension and is looking for an enveloping, deep massage.
• Values the comfort of warmth on the body as well as a fresher, more revitalising finish.
• Is looking for a complete sensory experience combining touch, temperature and essential oils.
• Wants to slow down in a peaceful environment with a carefully considered 80-minute massage.

“For me, the Hot and Cold Stone Massage begins with a very attentive reading of the body. Before starting, I like to understand whether the person arrives feeling more tired, stiffer or simply in need of a deep pause. The warmth of the volcanic stones has a very special presence: it helps the body soften, breathe more freely and receive the massage in a calmer way.

Throughout the treatment, I adapt the pace, pressure and way in which I use the stones. Some areas call for slower, more enveloping movements, while others need more precise attention. The important thing is that the warmth never becomes excessive and that the person feels safe, comfortable and confident throughout the experience.

The contrast created by the cold stones on the face makes the ending particularly memorable. After the warmth on the body, this freshness creates a gentle awakening, as though the treatment finishes with greater lightness and vitality.”
