Hot Stone Massage

masazas akmenimis

Stone therapy is a variation of classic massage therapy when smooth heated stones formed out of volcanic rocks and maintaining the heat energy are placed on reflexogenic zones.

Sometimes a massage specialist uses them for massaging certain parts of the body.

This method is based on the experience of the Arizona Indians who used stones for healing. They used to heat up the stones and rub the body and bones in this way absorbing the energy of the stones. Nowadays this method is considered to be an excellent way to regain physical and mental harmony.
Basalt is used for the massage. It is a rock rich in iron, therefore it retains heat well.
When the stones are heated up to approximately 45 degrees, they retain the temperature for a half an hour or an hour, depending on the size of the stones.

Three ways to use hot stones:

  • “Warm–cold” technique. One stone is heated up and the other one is cooled down; this results in a sensation of contrast.
  • Use of stones for massage (massaging the body).
  • Use of stones to put pressure on acupuncture points.

Massage effects: reduces pain, stress, tension, and fatigue; relaxes muscles, gives energy to the body; heat affects the dilation of blood vessels, activates microcirculation, and improves penetration of the active components.

Duration - 1 hour.  Recommended twice a week, a total of six procedures.
