I wanted to introduce our newest treatment: hot seashell massage therapy. See below for more info.
What is it?
Hot seashell massage is a modality alternately attributed to Hawaii and the South Pacific Islands, and it utilizes heated seashells to expedite muscle relaxation.
How does it work?
Seashell massage employs smoothed shells filled with cement or organic materials. The sealed and resin-coated shells vary in size and shape. Larger, fanned shells cover surfaces like the back; smaller, conical shells fit between the toes, or into small "knots" of tension.
During a seashell massage, the therapist may opt to use only shells or alternate shells with her hands. They are heated in a water bath first and once the temperature is comfortable for the client, they are quickly dried and applied to the body. Shells can create familiar, sweeping strokes, or simply rest on a tense area.
What are the benefits?
In addition to warming muscles, the seashells have mild, exfoliating capabilities, and often complement scrubs or mud wraps. The therapist might add aromatherapy oils, lotions, or creams to enhance the treatment.
Proponents of seashell massage attest to the shells' positive vibrations as an added healing component. Many seashell massage therapists consider seashells energetically uplifting.
