Melt into a blanket of warmth as you experience the soothing, meditative state of Hot Lava Stone massage.  This exotic treatment involves classic Swedish style stokes accompanied by heated basalt lava stones.  The oiled stones glide along your tired, sore muscles, reinvigorating and rejuvenating your mind as well as your body.

Warmth has a sedative effect on the nerve endings of the human body, reducing pain and discomfort by increasing blood flow to the various tissues, including the muscles.  A temperature that is very warm can induce relaxation without causing extreme temperature change to the body.  Hot Lava Stone Massage achieves this sedative effect, relaxing the body and sending one into what has been described by some as being a dreamlike state.

The purpose of heating and cooling stones during Hot Lava Stone Therapy is to flush out toxins in the connective tissues of the body without over stimulating the nervous system.  Using contrasting hot and cold temperatures stimulates blood supply to the treated areas.  This also brings nutrients into an area lacking good blood supply, flushing away stagnation via the circulatory and lymph systems.

With Hot Lava Stone Massage the client reaches a state of relaxation not only faster than with regular massage but also much more profoundly, often sending the client into a state of complete and utter bliss.
