Lomi Pöhaku - Hot Stone Massage

Lomi Pöhaku is based on Polynesian-Hawaiian tradition in which smooth warmed basalt stones (pöhaku) are used to massage (lomi lomi means massage in Hawaiian) the body in long flowing strokes to relax and unwind muscle tension and stress from the body. The sensation produced by gliding, heated stones over the body along with the occasional, mesmerising, “click” of the stones touching each other, is something that can only be appreciated by experiencing it. The stone-distribution of heat, combined with the soothing gliding movement, warms and relaxes the muscles to a much greater extent than that achieved by simply massaging the body with the hands alone.
