Hot Stone History and Benefits

Hot Stone Therapy dates back over 2000 years and was used across cultures from Native American tribes to the ancient Roman baths, to Chinese and Indian healing practices.  Heated basalt stones are used to change the physiological responses within the body to promote healing.

Benefits include:

• Increases blood supply by vasodilation (widening of blood vessels).
• Increases circulation by taking oxygenated blood and nutrients around the body quickly.
• Increases metabolism by improving the rate at which the body processes foods and toxins.
• Increases pulse rate and helps the heart to pump efficiently.
• Increases cell metabolism – the rate at which the body –produces necessary chemicals for efficient function, helping hormones, blood cells and the immune system.
• Increases lymph function by putting the body’s waste system on full speed and high efficiency.
• Decreases the stimulus of the myoneural junction – this relaxes muscle response, relaxes the client and allows the therapist to get into those muscles with less discomfort.
• Reduces spasticity in the muscle – the muscles soften and relax, allowing for an increase range of work and reducing tension.

The overall result is that the body becomes deeply relaxed, healing takes place more efficiently and the therapist is able to work more deeply.
