Stone Therapy

​

For information the stones I use are made of basalt, a type of volcanic rock that retains heat.

Main benefits of Stone Massage:

• It helps you relax and improves your sleep

• It helps increase blood flow and ease tense muscles

• It may also reduce muscle spasms and increase flexibility and range of motion.

• people with rheumatoid arthritis may benefit from a moderate-pressure stone massage,

• It may give your immune system a boost too.

 

A hot stone massage is generally safe. But there are some circumstances where it should be avoided. Consult your doctor before getting a massage if you have: a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners / burns on your skin or open wounds / a history of blood clots / had surgery in the last 6 weeks / a fracture or severe osteoporosis / a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) or diabetes.

​

Only go to a specially qualified therapist for a massage is you are pregnant.
