Stone
Therapy is an ancient healing art used by
Egyptians and Nativi Americans that was just recently rediscovered.
It’is a type of thermotherapy; it utilizes heat-retaining
warm basalt and cool sedimentary massage stones, as well
as chakra balancing using semiprecious stones and crystals,
and aromatherapy. Physiological benefits of alternating
temperatures to the body have long been scientifically and
medically proven.The heat from the warm basalt stones penetrates
deeply to help loosen and sooth tightened, congested muscles
The ultimate goal of the therapy is relaxation that will
bring balance and alleviate chronic and acute problems.
Stone therapy treatment instantly connects one's soul with
the blessings Mother Earth offers us daily; bringing warmth,
cooling, vibrations and sound through the application of
the stones to the body by honoring the breath and energies
of the soul. A Stone massage uses approximately 84 stones
of different temperatures, sizes and shapes to manipulate
the musculature and connective tissues as well as stones
in placements under and on top of clients. This creates
a true stone experience, utilizing the stones for every
aspect of the treatment rather than just a few stones added
to a regular massage.
Stones are heated in hot water and are placed under the
back, along both sides of the spine, and on top of the torso
and are believed to heat the chakra or meridians centers.
Heated stones coated in oil are then used directly in the
hands of the therapist delivering various massaging strokes.
