“The combination of heat and massage delivers the goods. I wandered out on a little cloud” – Daily Telegraph

This revolutionary new treatment from the tropics known as Lava Shell Massage is a deeply comforting and relaxing body massage that uses heat in order to help soothe aches and pains. The treatment is performed using Tiger Clam shells from the the South Pacific delivering heat to your tired and aching muscles.

Lava Shell Massage is more consistent as the shells hold their heat for up to 2 hours, basalt stones used in Hot Stone Massage cool down pretty quickly and need to be changed frequently.

The treatment offers all the benefits of a hot stone massage with the added bonus of being eco-friendly. It’s called ‘shell’ because the therapist uses naturally self-heating Tiger Clam shells from the sun kissed shores of the South Pacific.

How does it work?

Let’s get technical- lava shells are not powered by external equipment, electricity or batteries. It is powered by an innovative mixture of natural minerals including algae, dried sea kelp blended with dead sea salt and essential oils. This blend of ingredients inside the shell, known as LavaGel, creates a chemical reaction that causes heat which can reach between 120 degrees to 125 degrees and can last for approximately one or two hours.

The benefits of heat

There are several benefits to heated treatments including: an increase in extension of soft tissues; removal of toxins from cells; enhanced blood flow; increased function of tissue cells; relaxation of sore, stiff muscles; and relief of painful arthritic joints.

Good to know

The Tiger Clams are a natural reducer of greenhouse gases; they process carbon dioxide out of the ocean water, which in turn allows the ocean to absorb more carbon dioxide from the air. So if you’re super eco-friendly then this therapy is the green treatment for you.
