| What
is La Stone Therapy? |
|
LaStone
therapy is quite possibly the ultimate therapeutic massage!
Developed over the last 20 years by Mary Hannigan, a massage
therapist from Arizona, the LaStone massage system offers
a deeply cleansing, relaxing and spiritual treatment.
A LaStone massage is carried out using smooth warmed Basalt
stones and cooled Marble stones. These stones are placed
over specific points:- along the spine, over charka points
and tucked along side your body to keep you warm and comforted
throughout the treatment. The use of hot stones during
the massage produces both sedative and re-energizing responses
within your body.
This wonderful massage creates a feeling of well being
and restores a sense of wholeness that you might not have
felt for sometime. |

| Ancient
Tradition of La Stone |
|
LaStone
has within its creation echoes of ancient traditions.
The Native Americans used heated stones in their sweat
lodges and the Hawaiian people have been using basalt
lava stones since ancient times, for physical and spiritual
healing and wellbeing. LaStone massage uses this ancient
knowledge but adds to it another dimension of temperature
through the introduction of hand carved cooled marble
stones.
Aromatherapy oils are applied to your body to aid healing
and to allow the basalt and marble stones to glide over
your body delivering temperature and pressure as they
travel. The alternating temperature of LaStone draws on
the age old tradition of ‘thermo’ therapy
widely used in Spas across the world today. |

| A
true LaStone treatment uses 54 hot basalt stones and 23
cooled marble stones to achieve a thermo-therapy massage.
The physiological benefits of thermo-therapy have long
been scientifically and medically proven and include: |

techniques, LaStone is able to reach deeper levels of
healing than a regular massage. |
