Hot and Cold Massage

About the Appointment

Utilizing the heat from stones works to relax the muscles, allowing the therapist to utilize less force on the muscles to release tension. The warmth of the stones is therapeutic & helps relieve muscle spasms, pain, tension.   A lesser known technique utilized in our office- cold stone massage- has a myriad of benefits. In addition to relieving stress and helping the body to relax, cryotherapy (the use of cold), can be a powerful decongestant and push blood, fluid, and wastes out of overworked or inflamed tissues.   These benefits make this type of massage particularly beneficial for relieving swelling and inflammation resulting from sports injury, scar tissue, or trauma.
