flowerLaStone Therapy

LaStone Therapy is the original hot stone massage. It is a massage using warm smooth stones and or cool marble. The warm stones may be tucked under your body or placed on the chakras while I alternate between massaging with my hands, and gliding the warm stones along your body. The hot stones deeply penetrate the tissues and soften the muscles, while the cool stones reduce inflammation and flush toxins and congestion out of the area. Hot stones then bring oxygenated blood back to the area. This thermo-cryotherapy helps detoxify the body and speed recovery while bringing the body back into balance.  Cool stones are used only when heat alone wouldn't be appropriate, such as when inflammation is present due to a recent injury.

This therapy meets more than physiological benefits; it also is a spiritual and grounding experience. The positive and negative charges of the stones help to balance the body's energy while you are cradled by Mother Earth. The feeling of the warm stones on the body has been compared to warm rays of sunshine penetrating and warming the muscles all the way to the bones. It is a wonderfully warm, nurturing, and very effective way of melting away knots and stress in the body.
