Stone massage: 

This practice consists of heating Basalt stones in hot water attaining 50%c in order to induce relaxation and detoxification during a massage treatment. Sensations of well being and relaxation begin only a few minutes into the massage. The association of marble and Basalt stones accompanied by appropriate techniques, a person can completely loose interest in any other form of massage. We also use other stones that we will introduce during the massage provoking an agreeable sensation of being wrapped in comfort. Hot stones are placed strategically on the table according to the patients’ morphology. The patient lies down on these stones then appropriate stones are placed on the energy centers, called chakras.  The body releases the tension in the back as the patient relaxes on the heated stones.  

The alternating of hot and cold stones helps relieve deep muscular tensions and chronic pain. Blood circulation and the flow of energy are restored. Parts of the body treated repeatedly with the hot stones and oils will stimulate the circulation, activate the lymph, release tension within the muscles and will work deeply throughout the whole body. According to the needs we will pay particular attention to the parts with the most tension. Techniques of brushing (light touch), friction and pressure with the hot stones are best for the back. The combined heat and cold technique is beneficial to activate the lymph and the circulation under the effects of pumping, releases mini contractions and relaxes the muscles. 

Stone massage is more than a massage; it is a returning to the source, where fire energy as well as water energy, allows the mind and the body to be liberated of all emotions and stress. It is essential that the practitioner be properly trained in order to use the appropriate temperatures according to the different requirements defined by the health of the patient. Stone massage is good for everyone though there can be some conditions like diabetes, cardio-vascular problems or if your immune system is week, you should have written prescription from you doctor before having a stone massage. Stone massage performs on 4 levels; mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. A session last approximately 1 hour.
