La Stone Spa Directory

La Stone Massage is far more than a massage with hot stones; it is a multidimensional treatment that reaches the very soul.

La Stone massage combines the benefits of or thermotherapy, the use of heat applications, with the strokes of massage using stones to create a deep, relaxing and healing treatment. The heat of the stones warms the skin, which allows for the absorption of moisturizing and therapeutic oils or lotion, while simultaneously preparing the musculature of the body so the therapist can work into the deeper muscle layers.

La Stone massage uses water-heated basalt lava stones (heated between 120 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit) of varying sizes in combination with traditional massage techniques. The heated stones create a feeling of continuous heat throughout the body, which can make you more physically and emotionally receptive to the therapeutic benefits of the massage and bring fresh blood to the tissues. The heat of the stones is also supposed to relieve tension and nervous fatigue, while the placing of different sized stones on the body’s chakra points is meant to create a more balanced flow of energy.
