Hot & Cold Stone Massage

Stone massage therapy has been used in different cultures for many years. Healers used rocks from the river beds and warmed them either in hot coals or hot water. Placing the hot stones on cloth on the body and arranging them along the energy centres of the body would help to relax the muscles and reduce pain or discomfort, boosting a healing process.

The placing of the stones can be followed by a massage which can be deeper and more intense as heat penetrates the body and relaxes the muscles.

Hot Stone therapy can help in the treatment for following problems:
Muscular aches, pains, and strains
