The Treatment
This treatment 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 the case 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.
‘’ Allow the raw, mother earth energy of the stones to wrap you in their warmth, cradle you in their arms and deliver you back into life’s hectic pace, recharged. ‘’

Introduction and History
Alternative Therapies including Stone Massage have been part of the eastern world’s regime of science for thousands of years. This science enables people to keep in focus the paths they have chosen.
The ancient healing art of stone massage is a modality for physical and spiritual balancing.
Working in harmony using various massage techniques and warm stones, relaxing the body at its deepest level. Stone Massage is very effective to create harmony and a positive energy flow.
The Stones
The powerful ‘metasthetic’ energies of Stone Massage are known to promote a harmonizing and cleansing effect, thus allowing for a meditative state of quietude and calm.
The application of hands in conjunction with stones produces intensified contact with the unique energies of the stones and the universal energies assisting with the energy flow within and directing the vital flow to areas of blockage.
This unique therapy using stones that are formed by sedimentary and volcanic action, is a very effective modality, not only because of the warm stone’s thermal conduction which brings about local and systemic changes in the body, but also can influence the energy centres for body and mind balancing.
Basalt is a dark heavy lava that is wide spread the world over; it is mainly pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar, the texture is so fine that these individual minerals are rarely seen; Basalt varies from dark grey with a greenish tinge to almost black.
Igneous and sedimentary rocks cover about 3/4 of the earth surface and have long been associated with metal ores and differing extremely in texture, colour and composition and depending on their original region and their mineralogy these mineral stones are well known for their heat or cold retention properties thus makes them the perfect choice for stone therapy.
