Hot stone massage therapy has been used throughout history all across the world. Using basalt stones, heat is transferred from the rock to the body through rhythmic movements. Hot stone therapy can be used on its own, for deep relaxation and increase in circulation, or in combination with manual therapy to release muscle tension before working deep into the tissues with the hands. Whether you're looking for overall relief, or targeted work to an injury or problem area, hot stone massage may benefit you.
Additionally, cold stones can also be incorporated into treatment. While used sparingly and in combination with the hot stones on the skin, cold stones can be used to target areas of restriction. Hot stones and cold stones will be used at the exact same time, reducing the detectability of the cold sensation. Cold stones may also be used at the end of any treatment to reduce any suspected inflammation.

En quoi ça consiste
Most of the hour is spent on the table while the therapist works through the areas you’ve agreed to focus on — pressure, pace and techniques shifting as they go — with a brief check-in before and after so you leave knowing what was worked on.
