The warm healing properties of a lava shell massage stimulate lymph activity in the body. This in turn helps your natural ability to flush toxins from the body.

The warmth from the shells and the deep tissue techniques from the therapist increases blood flow in the body. Blood flow is important of the healing process when you have injuries and muscle pains.

Increased blood and oxygen to infected or injured areas of the body will promote faster healing. Perfect after a session at the gym.

Soothing Sore and Stiff Muscles

If you work in a labor intensive job or exercise hard, you will know that dull pain and soreness in your muscles that takes days to recover from. With a hot lava shell massage your recovery will be much quicker.

A warm massage allows the therapist to work deep into muscles. Giving the muscles more blood and oxygen flow to stimulate your body’s own healing process.

Hygienic and Natural

Lava shells are very hygienic when compared to some other methods and tools used in massage. I’m not suggesting any massage is un-hygienic. However, lava shells do not able to absorb any oil or bacteria.

They are naturally sources items too. In fact, the clam shells used to be discarded before their potential in massage was realised. Now they are recycled, a much more environmentally friendly result.

Lava shells are easy to use. Obviously it’s not easy to become qualified and skilled in massage therapy. There is a great deal of work involved in developing the techniques you will need to use.

What Does a Lava Shell Massage Feel Like?

Imagine long, warm strokes with a smooth shell running over the contours of your body. You will feel immediately relaxed, and as the warmth builds up and works deeper into your muscles and tissues you will drift off into a place of deep relaxation.

The shells can be used to target pressure points on the body. Relieving built up tension and tightness in your neck, back, arms, legs, and other areas. As the heat penetrates the muscles the therapist is able to work deep tissue techniques to work out those long-term deep problems and injuries.

You will feel better in ways you didn’t realise was possible. We all have tension built up in our muscles we aren’t aware of. But once it’s been worked out you will be aware of how much better you feel.

There are also pleasant aromas from the oil and minerals used with the shells. This will get your senses working and create a soothing and calming atmosphere and feeling as you breathe in and out. The whole experience will leave you feeling relaxed, balanced, happy, and very content.
