River Rock massage is a unique and grounding form of massage using hot stones to warm and relax the client. Through strategic placement of warm stones on the body, a hyperthermic effect is created which research shows is able to alter mood and create feelings of emotional uplifting. During this warming and deep stimulation of stones moving over the body, the immune system is also boosted. Another great benefit is that this wonderful, relaxing treatment has a balancing effect on the chakras and assists in taking the stress out of every part of the body. It is especially effective for arthritis sufferers or anyone with joint or muscle pain.
