Stone Therapy is a delightful treatment to give as well as to receive. The effectiveness of the stones in treatment alleviates the strain on the therapists hands and wrists but increases the benefit of the treatment ten fold. Once clients have experienced Stone Therapy they very rarely go back to a normal massage without the stones.
