What is Cold Stone Therapy?

Switching between cold and hot stone applications causes blood vessels to alternatively dilate and constrict – leading to increased movement of fluids within the body, and increased movement of toxins and healing from muscles tissue strain and repetitive use.

This type of treatment can be used as a means of prevention and therapeutic care.

Chilled stones provide an excellent way to increase circulation and act as a powerful body decongestant.

Cold therapy helps to ease inflammation surrounding joints and tissues, and helps to decrease muscle spasms (caused by lack of blood circulation in dense, taut muscle fibres). Unlike the use of ice, cold stone treatments do not dramatically desensitize the skin. The overall effect of a treatment helps reduce tension with a combined feeling of invigoration.
