Many different cultures have used stone massage therapy over many years, with healers using rocks from river beds and warmed them either in hot coals or hot water; the hot stones were then placed in cloths on the body and arranging them along the energy centres of the body which helped to relax muscles and reduce pain or discomfort.

A massage can follow the placing of the stones, which ca be deeper and provide a more intense heat, penetrating the body and relaxing the body further.

Hot stone therapy can help in the treatment of the following conditions: muscular aches, pains, and strains, rheumatic and arthritic conditions, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, back pain, and insomnia. It also helps to improve circulation and can help reduce stress, anxiety, tension and depression.
