Hot Stone Massage
What is Hot Stone Massage Therapy?
Stone
Therapy is an ancient healing art thats been around for thousands of years. The
Egyptians even used heated stones. Native America Indians used stones during
rituals and ceremonies and still use them today in Sweat Lodges. Originally
Hawaiian Laau lomi-lomi lava rock balls were used to clean or scrape the skin
after a lomi-lomi.
Stone therapy was reintroduced in Tucson, Arizona in
1994 by a massage therapist.
Stone massage uses deep penetrating heat
from smooth basalt rocks. This exotic treatment involves placing heated Lava
stones on to the skin and pressure points with natural & aromatherapy oils.
The best Black Basalt (lava) stones are used to heat & soothe
aching muscles. Cooler marble stones are also used to cool the muscles and
heal.
The heat from the stones increases the relaxation response and
increases healing through improved blood flow and circulation.
Various
size hot stones are used to massage different parts of the body and are also
placed on specific areas. The stones are very comfortable and never too hot.
Our clients love this therapy.
