Remedial Hot Stones
Deep results - without the deep pressure.
What is a Remedial Hot Stone massage?
This is not your average hot stone massage. At Drysdale Remedial Therapies, we combine the soothing warmth of hot stones with the precision and purpose of remedial massage. The stones are more than just relaxing — they’re used as tools by our trained therapists to target trigger points, release tension, and treat the underlying cause of pain or dysfunction.
By working with what we feel in your tissues, and applying heat directly to tight or reactive areas, we’re able to melt through layers of tension without excessive pressure — making it ideal for those who want results without discomfort.
Why heat works?
The heat does the work — helping muscles soften, loosen, and relax more quickly
Less pain during treatment — no need for deep, forceful pressure to release trigger points
No soreness after — unlike some deep tissue sessions, there’s usually no post-massage DOMS
Calms the nervous system — supporting both muscular and emotional release
Improves circulation — enhancing nutrient flow and recovery
It’s the perfect blend of effectiveness and ease — therapeutic without being intense.
What to expect in a treatment.
Your therapist will begin with a short check-in to understand your symptoms, tension patterns, and treatment goals. From there, the session flows between direct stone work and hands-on massage, depending on what your body needs. You might experience the stones gliding slowly across tight areas, or being held still on specific trigger points to encourage a deep release.
Our aim is always the same: to restore function, reduce discomfort, and leave you feeling better. You’ll walk away relaxed, realigned, and likely surprised at how effective this gentle approach can be.
Who is this for?
Remedial hot stone massage is ideal for:
People who need deep muscular work but dislike painful pressure
Those recovering from stress, burnout, or chronic muscle tension
Clients with fibromyalgia or heightened nervous system sensitivity
Anyone looking for a treatment that blends function with relaxation
This treatment may be especially helpful if you’ve had deep tissue before and found it too uncomfortable — but still want lasting results.
