LaStone Therapy® has combined the best of science, massage technique and skilled practice with a deep reverence for the sacredness of bodywork and earth's sacred tools, the stone. What are the benefits of LaStone Therapy? The physiological benefits of alternating hot and cold to the body have long been scientifically and medically proven. The heated stones bring oxygenated blood to the area of application, increasing lymph flow and metabolism. The cold stones push away unwanted congestion, inflammation and blockages. In this way, the use of alternating temperatures brings about healing, balance and rejuvenation. It also aids in the balancing of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual energies. The use of heated and cooled stones also allows the therapist to penetrate and work the tissues at a deeper level than is possible in other traditional massage therapies that only utilize the hands.

Thus, in addition to being a deep-tissue healing treatment, LaStone therapy is also a very good detoxification program and an excellent immunity system booster.

LaStone therapy is also a very good relaxant for the mind. The alternate application of hot and cold stones causes alternately sedative and energizing responses. This lulls the mind into a deep state of relaxation. A lot of patients have reported the feeling of being in a reverie or deep meditative state by the end of the massage.

Instead of using just their hands the therapist offers hot stones to the body, or alternates between hot and cold stones which encourages the body to release a chemical reaction due to the alternating temperatures; thus promoting change within all the systems of the body. The stones are the medium and the hot and cold temperatures are the message. This vascular gymnastics of the circulatory system assists the body in self-healing. Blood, lymph, digestive juices and interstitial fluids move very quickly under heat and cold; this tonifies and strengthens the body.
