LaStone Therapy/Hot Rock Therapy

LaStone Therapy is a form of bodywork involving the use of heated and cooled stones, also called thermotherapy. The physiological benefits of alternating hot (basalt stones) and cold (marble stones) to the body have long been scientifically and medically proven.

The contrast between hot and cold jumpstarts the circulatory system and assists the body in self-healing. There is a balance to the mind-body-soul connection.The stones are heated to a temperature of 120-140 degrees, and are placed on specific points below and on top of the body. The massage is done with heated stones, with placement of cooled stones to be decided by you and the therapist determined by the tension or discomfort your body is holding.

Cooled stones are typically placed in areas of discomfort. The penetrating heated stones allow for a deep and soothing massage.
