Stone Chi Meridian Massage is a rich multi-faceted system of healing involving chinese medical theory, massage therapy, thermotherapy, and geology. This unique therapy involves the application of hot and cold stones to different regions of the body. The Yin and Yang energies of the body are balanced through the use of hot (yang) basalt stones and cold (yin) marble stones. The hot basalt stones can strengthen deficiencies, increase body circulation, warm and relax the body. The cold marble stones reduce the heat caused by acute injuries, reduce swelling, stimulate circulation, stimulate mental activity, and remove waste products. The combination of hot and cold stones returns the body to homeostasis and balances the entire body.
Hot oil massage is performed with the stones along the acupuncture meridians to correct imbalances in the body. Acupressure is performed with the stones at prescribed acupoints for particular ailments. Each massage typically lasts 90 minutes. Before each session, the individual is thoroughly assessed to determine where in the body imbalances exist and an indivudualized prescription of hot and cold stones are applied.
Stone Chi Meridian Massage Therapy is an exceptionally relaxing and healing experience. It incorporates ancient methods of healing with a unique modern synthesis of modalities.
