hot stone reflexology

 

With all the benefits of Reflexology, smooth, river worn Basalt Stones are used to replace finger and thumb pressure on reflex points. The heat helps to relax the muscles in the feet allowing the therapist to work deeper into the reflex areas.

 

Hot stones are used all round the world as a therapeutic tool to treat imbalances. The Chinese used heated stones over 2000 years ago as a means of improving organ function. There is also historical evidence from ancient Egyptian, native American, Hawaiian and European cultures. 

​

The stones are first used to massage the lower legs relieving any tension in the calf muscles and helping to enhance energy flow. This is then followed by using various sized stones to work the reflex areas and points on the feet. The heat from the stones quickly opens up the reflex pathways bringing about a deeper level of relaxation.
