A session with Hot Stones (as we use to call
it) can be done with Hot, Warm or Cold Stones. In the first two cases
the stones are from
Basalt and in the third case from white-green
Marble. Basalt
is volcanic stone and was chosen for its capacity to maintain and
transfer the heat with a delightful way, and due to its origins carries
the ‘memory ' of heat , and therefore its energy and quality.
White-Green
premium quality marble is used for the cold stones sessions due to its
ability to maintain low temperature. That’s why the Romans used this
marble to build the famous Roman Baths so they could have permanently
cold water. The stones are sleek, various sizes and shape and cooked in a
special container fitted with electronic thermostat for ultimate
security. In a session used 120-130 rocks and the duration is at least
60 minutes. During the session the therapist puts the stones in
"strategic" points to mobilize the energy and prepare the muscles and
joints. The placement is combined with massage with hands and/or with
stones, depending on the case. The combination with various massage
techniques such as Swedish, Deep tissue, Shiatsu and Lymphatic is very
effective. The variety of applications of stone massage brought the
technique to the top of the preference in Spas all over world.
