Stone therapy involves the use of stones, of all shapes and sizes, which glide across the body, providing soothing effleurage, toxin-clearing acupressure and energy balancing. Stone Therapy is a complete body, mind and soul treatment working with temperature of 32 to 140 degrees. The client experiences deep levels of sensation in response to the alternating temperature. Some of the stones are meant to trigger-point work while others focus on balancing energy. The massage itself can also involve treatments such as deep tissue, Shiatsu and Swedish. Stone therapy helps with the often fatigued wrists and thumbs of therapists, as they can apply more pressure with the hard stones, requiring less effort from their own body.

Cost: Varies from $150 for the one day training to $450 for the three day training (Hot Basalt stones are included in above price)."
