Hot stone massage uses heated basalt river rocks to a temperature between 110 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat from the stones allows the therapist to work deeper into the tissue while using lighter pressure. Some treatments may place stones on certain points of the body that are thought to energetically balance the body. Swedish massage techniques are typically used during a hot stone massage before and after the application of the stones.ones to relax tense muscles and improve circulation.

Cranial Sacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach to bodywork that has its roots in Cranial Osteopathy. The Cranial Sacral system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, meningeal membranes, cerebrospinal fluid, and the bones of the head, spinal column, and sacrum. By releasing tension in the tissues that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord this therapy optimizes the central nervous system and all other systems of the body.

Swedish Massage was organized into five techniques by a Swedish physiologist who suffered from joint disease. Effleurage is a repetition of gliding strokes aimed to lengthen. Petrissage or “to knead” a muscle helps blood and lymph move toward the heart. Friction is a quick back and forth movement to increase blood flow in superficial tissues, break up adhesions, and helps in absorption of fluid around the joints. Vibration “confuses” the the nervous system allowing muscles to relax and becomes sedative. Tapotement is to tap, drum, or pat. it is used to stimulate which tones muscles and increases circulation.
