Stone Therapy arrived in the UK in the 1990’s and is used mainly in Spa’s around the world. However due to it’s increased popularity and beneficial elements is it fast becoming the number one massage treatment to promote well being mentally and physically. It is also used in top hotels around the world and Steiner have introduced it onto their Cruise Ships.The stones originate from high energy and no pollution areas such as the Ghandes in Peru and Hawaii, they began life as volcanic lava and have set and cooled at the base of the volcano. They are energised by the moon and sun with positive energies therefore 100% natural. The stones are heated in a specially designed unit and they retain their heat till they are used on the body. Their heat will penetrate up to 4cm below the skin surface. If heat is a contra-indication then Marine stones can be used, they carry a cooling anti-inflammatory effect.
Shakra crystals can also be incorporated into the treatment to rebalance the body.

The treatment is still effective for up to 8 hours after therefore we recommend you drink plenty of water and refrain from exercise eating spicy food.
Stone massage is a unique connection we experience with nature, offering a sense of profoundness and sacredness that we too often forget. It's a deep healing and unique moment that enhances our awareness and brings us closer to our true essence. It is the perfect treatment that is as enjoyable and healing for the client as it is for the practitioner.

Stone massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.
In cases of muscular injury and inflammation, frozen, cooling marble stones are used. This creates a type of thermotherapeutic 'vascular gymnastics' in the circulatory system to help the body detoxify and heal. The warmer stones expand the blood vessels, pushing blood and unwanted waste materials through the body. This has a sedative effect on the nervous system. The cold stones cause the blood vessels to constrict, stimulating the nervous system and drawing blood and waste products along the body. This ensures that every cell in the body receives more oxygen and nutrients while at the same time waste material is removed more effectively through the corresponding increase in lymph flow. Not unlike changing the old oil and filter in your car for a newer filter with clean oil—a service for the body.
It is quite an experience to feel the deeply relaxing, penetrating heat from the basalt stones alternating with the toning and refreshing coolness of the marble stones. The use of extremes of temperature has long been scientifically and medically proven to be of benefit to the body. Those who wish to relax and tone their muscles with a minimum of effort see this in the use of ice packs for muscle trauma and the use of saunas.
Stone massage makes you feel deeply relaxed, allowing you to let go of all the stress that is held within your body. It is really an amazing experience to offer to the ones you love!
