The Essential Touch

Hot stone massage is a form of thermal hydro-therapy. Using smooth, warmed, heat-retaining stones as extensions of the hands, clients receiving a well-administered hot stone massage will seek it again and again. For some, stone therapy brings unrivaled deep tissue release and alignment. For others, the heat of the stones gently softens muscular tension and melts away emotional stress. On a spiritual plane, the stones are from the earth and have an extremely grounding quality adored by many. Grounding can be very helpful to individuals struggling with issues related to sleep, headaches, dizziness, anxiety or feeling overwhelmed or scattered.

From active placement to active stone massage, there are many different ways to manipulate the stones on a person’s body. Using the heated stones to apply pressure to acupressure points, trace or rub meridians is one way to amplify the therapeutic efficacy of a treatment.

 The heat of the stones, combined with the soothing gliding massage movements, warms and relaxes the muscles to a much greater extent than what can be achieved by massage alone.

 These are some of the following benefits of warmed stone bodywork:

· Increased circulation, lymph and vitality

· Release of excessive toxins

· Relief from tight muscles

· The weight and material of the stones function to ground the body

· Reduced ticklishness for many vulnerable clients

· Relaxed central nervous system (when stones are laid upon the spinal column)
