The Hot Shell Massage

a new spa massage from the South Pacific
promotes the use of recycled Tiger
clamshells for a massage that will
relieve stress and tension hi i’m
veronica watchmojo.com and today we’re
taking a look at the hottest new eco
treatment around the hot lava shell
massage what is a hot lava shell massage
essentially a heated lava shell massage
is a comforting warm massage with real
tiger-striped shells from the
philippines the shells are heated
naturally with minerals and algae
combined with saltwater they form a
chemical reaction which self heats known
as the lava gel now what’s the
difference between a hot stone massage
and a massage we’re using these shells
if the eco-friendly alternative to hot
stone therapy this because they self
heat you don’t need to use electricity
because they self heat for 60 to 90
minutes you only need two to four shells
that are within a hands length all the
time a hot stone the massage therapist
will have to go back and forth and grab
the stones and so there’s a lot of time
wasted there can you take us through the
whole process from the moment you come
in and lay down as the person is is
getting ready to lie on the massage
table the massage therapist prepares the
shells they need to be prepared about
seven eight minutes prior to use and
then it’s essentially like any Swedish
or relaxation massage we generally start
on your stomach and use the shells to
heat up the body to relax the muscles
and then there’s a little bit of a
combination of Swedish relaxation
stroking gliding with the shells without
the shells and depending on the person
and their taste we can really adapt them
to what they want obviously it’s a
relaxing massage so it’s not therapeutic
it’s not for someone who wants deep
tissue therapy just someone who wants a
very soothing relaxing experience
