Stone Therapy

Hot Stone Massage

Stone massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.

In cases of muscular injury and inflammation, frozen, cooling marble stones are used. This creates a type of thermotherapeutic 'vascular gymnastics' in the circulatory system to help the body detoxify and heal. The warmer stones expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste materials through the body. This has a sedative effect on the nervous system. The cold stones cause the blood vessels to constrict, stimulating the nervous system and drawing blood and waste products along the body.

The treatment ensures that every cell in the body receives more oxygen and nutrients while at the same time waste material is removed more effectively through the corresponding increase in lymph flow.

Stone massage makes you feel deeply relaxed, allowing you to let go of all the stress that is held within your body.

Those experiencing a hot stone massage will notice a healing improvement of the following symptoms: Muscular aches , pains, sprains, and strains, poor circulation, rheumatic and arthritic conditions, fibromyalgia, MS, back pain, stress, anxiety and tension, insomnia, depression.
