After sauna treatments

Body moisturizing and relaxation massage.

Hot room treatments open your skin, cleansing it and allowing it to breathe. To heal the derma micro-traumas and to protect the skin from drying out, we recommend the application of water-based lotions after all other procedures are done. As with any other sauna activity you can perform moisturising by yourself or can order this treat from our associates. The context of this treatment depends on the practitioner and typically consists of a combination of light, non-therapeutic massage with elements of energy healing and acupuncture.

This treatment itself does not result in any significant health effects, but it is a great way to end your session – light, enjoyable, sensual, and calming.

Deep Tissue Massage

This treatment is highly efficient after steam room pre-heating because your tissues and muscles are deeply warmed. This level of muscle relaxation is almost impossible to reach with traditional massage techniques. Extra energy, improved sleep… the best spa experience.

Deep Tissue Massage executed by RMT costs $120/1h and should be booked far in advance.

Foot massage and energy healing.

Relaxing. Enjoyable. Healing. Executed by well-trained, but not registered professionals.

We are still looking for a location with a sauna. Sauna ceremonies and hot-leaves treatments were the heart of Hot Rock Spa, and we haven’t given up on them — we hope, and quietly dream, of bringing real sauna services back to Ottawa one day.
