Hot Stone Fusion can be a stand alone treatment – 75 minutes of heaven – or can be used as part of a remedial treatment session.

A full body relaxation massage using a fusion of hot stones and hands is ‘a little bit of heaven’. The massage is performed with the stones and therapeutically:

1. •increases metabolism
   

2. •increases circulation
   

3. •promotes deep relaxation
   

4. •helps to combat stress
   

5. •increases tissue elasticity
   

For remedial purposes, massaging areas with hot stones prior to other techniques warms and relaxes the tissues, allowing for quicker and more effective treatment.

The stones can also be used COLD:

1. •to prevent and reduce swelling
   

2. •decrease inflammation
   

3. •decrease pain
   

4. •decrease spasm
   

5. •increase ease of movement
   

In some cases the use of hot AND cold stones in Contrast Bathing is indicated in order to increase circulation and to help expel toxins. This is particularly benefical for face massage and is used to end the full body massage.

The stones have been hand chosen and collected from river beds all over the world: deserts of the US, beaches of Mexico, Japan and Africa. Made of basalt, they are naturally smooth and a delight to touch and be touched by.
