Former service. This page describes a service of Hot Rock Spa (Carp) that we no longer offer — it’s kept here for reference. ALX Massage & Bodywork is now a massage & osteopathy studio at 1415 Woodroffe Avenue, Ottawa. See our current massage menu or all former services.
Steam Wrapping
This is a deep non-contact heating procedure which usually precedes other more specific procedures. The group of guests sits on the bench while the Sauna-Master catches hot air from the top levels of the Steam room and brings the heat down to the guests, ensuring heat is delivered to each part of the body – from shoulders to toes.
The temperature and intensity of warming is selected depending on the overall level of health of the group.
Depending on the purpose of the visit, steam wraps can be combined with aromatherapy sessions or preceded by intensive massage and therapy.
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. Know a property that could host a sauna? Tell us about it.
