Stone massage is a unique
connection we experience with nature, offering a sense
of profoundness and sacredness that we too often forget.
It's a deep healing and unique moment that enhances
our awareness and brings us closer to our true essence.
It is the perfect treatment that is as enjoyable and
healing for the client as it is for the practitioner.
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. The direct heat relaxes muscles,
allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than
with regular massage.
In cases of muscular injury and inflammation, frozen,
cooling marble stones are used. This creates a type
of thermotherapeutic 'vascular gymnastics' in the
circulatory system to help the body detoxify and heal.
The warmer stones expand the blood vessels, pushing
blood and unwanted waste materials through the body.
This has a sedative effect on the nervous system.
The cold stones cause the blood vessels to constrict,
stimulating the nervous system and drawing blood and
waste products along the body. This ensures that every
cell in the body receives more oxygen and nutrients
while at the same time waste material is removed more
effectively through the corresponding increase in
lymph flow. Not unlike changing the old oil and filter
in your car for a newer filter with clean oil—a
service for the body.
It is quite an experience to feel the deeply relaxing,
penetrating heat from the basalt stones alternating
with the toning and refreshing coolness of the marble
stones. The use of extremes of temperature has long
been scientifically and medically proven to be of
benefit to the body. Those who wish to relax and tone
their muscles with a minimum of effort see this in
the use of ice packs for muscle trauma and the use
of saunas.
Stone massage makes you feel deeply relaxed, allowing
you to let go of all the stress that is held within
your body. It is really an amazing experience to offer
to the ones you love!
