Hot Cold Stone Massage,LaStone Therapy
Using geo-thermal-therapy the Hot Basalt & Cold Marble Stones produce a vascular gymnastics of flushing blood in and out the tissue producing a very soothing therapeutic sports massage modality effect of deep tissue massage without the rip&gouge.Basalt Stones with its high Iron content hold and retain the heat the best and the longest of all stones,and Quarried Marble hold and retain the Cold the best and longest.It is in my professional opinion the top experience to both give and receive.For the client the "lights truly go out" on this one and with the placing of the stones on various areas bodywork continues on an area while I work on another(i.e. the spinal layout ,where a row of hot and cold stones are laid out in a vertical line covered with a pillowcase and then laid upon)by the client.While I work the front side of the body. I am currently in the process of talking one of my out of town clients to serve as model in a Video on this form of massage so I should have a link set up to it on this page shortly.Stand By!
