The treatment
What happens.
Basalt stones are warmed in water to about 50°C and worked into the muscles with oil, so the heat goes deeper than hands alone can take it. Smaller stones rest along the spine and in the palms while the therapist works the legs. It is the massage we suggest on a cold Istanbul evening, or for anyone who finds firm pressure too much but still wants to feel thoroughly worked.
Not advised in pregnancy, with varicose veins or after recent sunburn.
