Stones that hold the heat of the earth — and return it to your body.
Geothermal Massage is one of the most complete and recognised wellbeing experiences in the world. With over 2000 years of history, it uses volcanic basalt stones — naturally rich in minerals — heated to a controlled temperature and applied to strategic points of the body.
The heat of the stones penetrates deeply into the muscles, releasing tension that a conventional massage cannot reach. At the same time, cold stones may be alternated to stimulate circulation and revitalise the body.

In Ílhavo, each session is carried out by appointment and adapted to your specific needs. Book your session now — and feel the heat of the earth working for you.

What this massage provides
- Deep muscle relaxation: heat penetrates where hands cannot reach
- Improved blood and lymphatic circulation
- Relief from chronic tension and muscle contractions
- Nervous system balance: reduces stress and anxiety
- Lasting physical and emotional wellbeing
- Body revitalisation through temperature alternation

How it works
The basalt stones are heated to a controlled temperature and positioned at strategic points of the body — along the spine, on the hands, feet and between the toes. The therapist also uses the stones to glide over the muscles in slow, precise movements, allowing the heat to penetrate deeply into the tissues. The alternation with cold stones stimulates circulation and revitalises the body.

Book your session now — and allow yourself a truly deep recovery.

1. What exactly is Geothermal Massage and how does it differ from other massages?
A: Geothermal Massage uses heated volcanic basalt stones — sometimes alternated with cold stones — applied to strategic points of the body and used to glide over the muscles. Unlike a conventional massage, the heat penetrates deeply into the muscle tissues, releasing chronic tension that hands alone cannot reach.

2. Are the stones very hot? Is the massage safe?
A: The stones are heated to a controlled temperature and tested before being applied. The session should never cause discomfort — if you feel too much heat at any point, simply let the therapist know and they will immediately adjust the temperature or technique.

3. What are the main benefits of Geothermal Massage?
A: The benefits include deep muscle relaxation, improved blood and lymphatic circulation, relief from chronic tension and muscle contractions, reduction of stress and anxiety, and a lasting sense of physical and emotional wellbeing. It is one of the most complete massages available.

4. How long is the session and what is the price?
A: Two options are available — a 30-minute session for €25 or a 60-minute session for €45. For deeper and more lasting results, we recommend the 60-minute session.

5. How often should I have a Geothermal Massage?
A: For general wellbeing maintenance, a monthly session is sufficient. For chronic stress, persistent muscle tension or accumulated fatigue, a fortnightly or weekly frequency is recommended.

6. Are there any contraindications for this massage?
A: Yes. Geothermal Massage is not recommended for people with serious heart conditions, uncontrolled hypertension, advanced diabetes, pronounced varicose veins, pregnant women or people with very sensitive skin or skin lesions. If in doubt, consult your doctor before booking.

7. Is any preparation needed before the session?
A: No special preparation is required. It is recommended to arrive a few minutes early to relax and to avoid heavy meals immediately before the session.

8. How do I make a booking?
A: Sessions are by appointment. You can book directly through the WOU registration form or contact us via WhatsApp.
