HISTORY                   

Hot Stone Massage is an ancient healing art using the application of heated or cooled basalt or river stones to the body using a variety of principles and techniques.

The stones have a strong magnetic field due to their composition of calcium and iron and as a result are efficient at restoring the body’s natural energy flow (called chi).

Unobstructed flow of chi helps to promote a healthy mind and body and an overall feeling of well being.

The stones are cleaned between each client and heated to 120 – 150 degrees. The therapist uses traditional Swedish massage strokes and holds the stones with their bare hands.

The therapist may also leave heated stones on specific points along your spine, on the face, in the palms of your hands or between the toes.

The warmth of the stones will induce a state of deep relaxation as soothing heat flows within the body along the spine, radiating into the shoulders and flowing into the legs, down into the feet.

If you have muscular injury or swelling/inflammation, cold stones may be used.
