Using smooth, heated basalt stones, this technique combines the warmth of the stones with therapeutic massage movements, providing deep muscle relaxation, relieving pain, and promoting overall well-being.

The massage therapist then uses additional stones to massage the body, delivering warmth and soothing pressure that penetrates deeper muscle layers. The unique combination of hot stone application and Le Signature Lomi Lomi techniques allows for the release of deep muscle knots and tension, providing faster relaxation and longer-lasting effects than traditional massage.
