Hot Stone Treatment
The therapeutic application of hot and cold stones has been dated to at least 1500 B.C . Their use has been found in almost all ancient civilization used for healing the body, mind, and soul.
This treatment involves massage and placement of warm stones, allowing muscles to absorb heat. Heat expands the muscles, while melting away knots and tension, allowing for a deeper and more effective massage.
Receiving one hot stone massage is equivalent to receiving 5 regular massages.
Cold stone applications are optional.
