Basalt Stone Massage Therapy … the ultimate in peace and relaxation by Robinray R. Rowland Originating in the Southwest, stone massage is a transformative experience that goes far beyond traditional massage. It brings one into the deeper dimensions of relaxation, health and mental well-being.
Stone massage is a thermotherapy that improves circulation. Polycrystalline structures of basalt stones allow energy to slowly distribute warmth, attracting blood to the surface of the skin. Cool marble stones calm you, sending the blood deep down into the muscles, relieving spasms and pain. Significant benefits are achieved from the alternating temperatures, improving the lymphatic and immune systems, assisting the body in self-healing detoxification. Basalt river stones, with fused minerals smoothed by water and time, radiate their natural healing properties. Preferred for their superior quality, for heat retention, basalt stones are carefully chosen according to shape, size, texture and weight. Gently warmed stones suffused in aromatic essences and oils are applied to the palms, soles of the feet, and various energy centers, creating a soothing grounded feeling. Velvety smooth stones with specific sculptural shapes fitting ideally into the therapist’s palms enhance the warm gliding Swedish massage strokes and the acupressure techniques of Deep-Tissue bodywork. TimeOut’s therapists skillfully trained in stone massage are fully educated in the physiological effects, sensory implications, optimal techniques, safety and hygiene. This truly unique massage experience is an inward journey that awakens your senses with deep relaxation and a serene feeling of peace and balance.
