There’s a particular kind of cold that settles into your shoulders after a long week — the sort that a hot bath only half-shifts. At Cup & Glow on Ash Road in Bebington, Wirral, I offer hot stones massage in a private, women-only room where the heat does the heavy lifting while you simply rest. Warm basalt stones are placed along the back, neck and shoulders, then used to glide through tight muscle tissue with slow, deliberate pressure. It is a treatment for anyone who wants warmth without the intensity of deep tissue work, and because the room is yours alone, there is no rush, no shared space, and no need to explain yourself.
What happens during a hot stones massage
The stones are heated to a comfortable temperature before you arrive and are tested again on my forearm before they touch the skin. You lie on a heated couch under soft linen while the stones are positioned along the spine, palms of the hands and soles of the feet. I then use them as an extension of the massage, letting the warmth sink into areas that feel locked — often the lower back, across the shoulders and down the back of the legs. The 30-minute session (£25) is ideal for a focused back, neck and shoulder release, while the 60-minute session (£40) gives time for the full body and a slower finish. You can see the full massage menu on our Treatments page.
Who it suits best
Hot stones massage suits Wirral women who feel constantly cold, sit for long hours, or carry tension in the upper back and hips. It is also popular after a busy week in Heswall when you want to switch off rather than be “worked on” intensely. Because of the warmth, the pressure can feel gentler than a deep tissue massage while still feeling thorough. If you prefer a stronger touch, our deep tissue option is listed alongside it.
After your appointment
Most clients leave feeling lighter and slower, so I suggest clearing the next hour rather than rushing back to a to-do list. Drink water, keep warm, and avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. The room is cleaned and reset between every guest, and fresh towels and linens are always used. If it is your first visit, use code GLOW20 in Fresha for 20% off your appointment.
FAQ
Will the stones burn?
No. They are warmed in a controlled heater and tested on my forearm before application. If a stone ever feels too warm, tell me immediately and it will be cooled or removed.
Do I need to remove all clothing?
You undress to your comfort level and lie under a towel throughout. Only the area being worked on is uncovered, and your modesty is protected at every step.
