Hot stone Massage Therapy –
An ancient therapy that promotes deep muscle and tissue relaxation.

Hot 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 that helps to open up the meridians (energy pathways). The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage. Cool stones are sometimes used alternately with hot stones.

In cases of muscular injury and inflammation, frozen, cooling marble stones are used. This creates a type of thermo-therapeutic stimulation in the circulatory system to help the body detoxify and heal.

Massage oils are incorporated into the massage treatment and essential oils blended to help with conditions and reinforce the healing properties of the stones.

Hot Stone Massage Therapy dates back to over 3000 years ago and is also known as Hot Rock Massage Therapy. It was used in ancient India and China, and more recently by the North American Indians.
