LaStone Therapy
LaStone® Therapy's form of bodywork involves the use of heated and cooled
stones, Geo-Thermo-Therapy, applied to the body to bring about relief to tired
and sore muscles, alleviating chronic and acute symptoms that many of us deal
with on a daily basis. Thermo-Therapy makes LaStone a success, by combining its
principles with the traditional healing practices of the Native American
Indians. LaStone Therapy capitalises on these practices with a modern approach.
Basalt and marble stones are used as tools to provide hot and cold 'messages' to
the body. This 'vascular gymnastics' for the circulatory system assists the
body's self-healing process. LaStone Therapy applies this principle throughout
its training and practices. It is a massage treatment that goes beyond the
normal parameters of therapy as we have previously known.
Clinically it is the application during massage therapy of heated stones with
alternating chilled stones for a deep penetrating effect on the human being's
physiological systems. Using different temperatures, whether heated or chilled,
on the body to bring about certain healing responses has been done for countless
eons.
It is a multifaceted technique designed to benefit client and therapist at once.
The therapeutic potential of this treatment is beyond measure. The physiological
benefits of alternating hot and cold to the body have long been scientifically
and medically proven.
Clinically it is the application during massage therapy of heated stones with
alternating cooled stones for a deep penetrating effect on our physiological
systems. Applying different temperatures on the body helps bring about natural
healing responses, known to have been used throughout many ancient cultures.
LaStone Therapy uses alternating temperatures to bring about healing, balance
and rejuvenation. Furthermore, it aids the balancing of all levels of physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual energies, often unlocking emotions and memories
that may be latent in the body, and thus facilitating remembrance and
acknowledgement. The therapy brings about alternately sedative and energizing
responses to the body. Clients love the potent charge they receive in the
treatment. They seem to be in a reverie or deep meditative state by the end of
the massage.
