At Merluza in Birmingham, our Hot Stones Full Body Massage uses sustained warmth and precise flow to unlock deep muscle tension. Heated basalt stones help tissue release quickly, so your therapist can work with less pressure and more result.
Across 60 minutes, we sequence the back, legs, arms, shoulders and neck while you settle into calm breathing. Expect improved circulation, softer fascia and a quieter nervous system. Ideal after training, long hours at a desk or a spell of poor sleep. Your comfort sets the pace, with pressure and temperature adjusted to you.

Who It’s For
Perfect for desk tightness, heavy training blocks, disrupted sleep or anyone who finds it hard to switch off. The steady warmth softens tissue so results arrive faster and linger longer. Not suitable with fever, uncontrolled hypertension, acute skin inflammation, recent surgery or in the first trimester of pregnancy. If you are pregnant or have a complex medical history, ask us about alternatives that keep you comfortable and safe.
Duration & Appointment Timing
Your booking is 60 minutes. Allow a few minutes for check in and a short aftercare chat, with around 50 to 55 minutes of hands-on time. Arrive 10 minutes early to decompress and discuss focus areas. Many guests rebook every 2 to 4 weeks for maintenance or to support a training cycle.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Hydrate well, keep the rest of your day light, and avoid very hot baths, sauna and intense workouts for 24 hours. Gentle mobility or stretching later in the day can help extend the benefit. A little residual warmth or tenderness can be normal and should settle quickly. If you have questions, contact the Merluza team and we will guide you.
