HEALTH BENEFITS
Hot Stone Therapy is an age-old healing treatment. Hot basalt stones penetrate muscles and balance the nervous system like no other treatments. The heat helps increase circulation and boost the immune system - even more than traditional Swedish massage. Some practitioners also believe that it operates at a deeper level than deep tissue because it affects the autonomic nervous system , which can help to reduce anxiety.
