How do the stones work?
Stones are heated to a comfortable, warm temperature and placed on the back along the spine. Other stones massage the arms, legs and head. The heat from the stones helps increase the heart rate and regulates blood flow. It helps rid the muscles of toxic waste products which build up from stress. Stiff joints benefit from the penetrating heat, and Hot Stone Therapy also helps with stress and skin disorders. Sometimes cold stones are applied to further stimulate blood circulation.
