Stone Therapy is a unique way of relaxing and letting your muscles just melt like butter. The most traditional stone therapy is done using hot {basaltic} stones and strategically placing them on certain areas of your body {usually along the meridians}; while at the same time massaging the rest of your body with the stones.

Another way of stone therapy is the cold method. Cold stones are excellent because they promote circulation and act as a powerful decongestant for the entire body. By promoting circulation, a cold treatment can ease inflamed tissues, decrease muscle spasms, and can reduce swelling or fluid build-up. Unlike with the use of ice which can be harsh to the touch of the skin, cold stone treatments will not severely desensitize the skin. The overall effect of a treatment is the reduction of tension with a simultaneous feeling of invigoration.

Hot stone therapy is great if you just wanted to relax, but it also has a benefit to allowing the therapist to do deeper work without having you feel like they are. Additionally, the stones will heat the skin, open the pores, and prepare one’s skin to better absorb massage oils/ lotions making your skin feel soft. The use of massage stones is also a great way to increase circulation in and around the area being massaged increasing the benefit of the massage itself. Increased blood flow will help clear out toxins and assist in healing an injured or strained area.
