Imagine yourself cast adrift on a sea of luxurious warmth with intermittent,
refreshing waves of cool. All the cares and stresses of the day floating away.
It is a massage using relaxing heated and refreshing chilled stones -
Geothermotherapy also known as LaStone Therapy. The heated stones
used are basalt, dense volcanic stones. They hold their heat for a long time
and release it slowly. The heated stones also draw toxins to the skin’s surface
promoting a purification process. The placement of cool stones relieves
blockages and congestion. Chilled stones can help with chronic muscle
spasm. In massage, chilled stones can increase range of motion and stimulate
muscles and the nervous system.
This vascular gymnastics of the circulatory system assists the body in self-
healing
Some short-term effects of heated stones:
Causes vasodilation: - a stimulating widening of the blood vessels, increasing
blood supply and leading to flushing.
Increases metabolism: - improving the rate at which the body processes foods
and toxins, burns energy and clears through.
Increases pulse rate: - thereby improving the circulation and helping the heart
to pump efficiently.
Increases lymph function: - putting the body's waste-disposal system on full
speed and high efficiency.
Reduces spasticity in muscles: - allowing an increased range of work and
reducing tension.
Some short-term effects of cold stones:
Analgesic effect: - the body releases a natural pain relief substance
(prostaglandin), which in turn reduces muscle spindle spacticity. This helps us
to work deeper with less pain.
'Breath deeply' effect of temperature change : - increases circulation and
oxygenation of blood.
Inhibits release of necrosin: - natural chemical that causes arteries and
vessels in damaged muscles to clot and starve muscles of blood.
Reduces inflammation: - excess blood is sent away from area.
Reduces histamine: - the irritant present in stressed muscles - which results in
the relaxation of the muscles.
