Hot & Cold Stone Therapy

What is Hot & Cold Stone Therapy?

I love the history behind this therapy, originating from ancient India and China and used in the traditions and healing rituals. The stones would be laid on the body or carried for health and protection. The heated stones would also be used to ease pain during menstruation with cold stones used pre birth to stem blood flow.

Made from naturally shaped Basalt, the stones together with the benefits of hydrotherapy and deep tissue massage can create a relaxing and healing treatment. The heat warms the skin and muscles allowing for increased blood flow and deeper trigger point bodywork and the cold stones can be used for inflammation or injuries.*
