La Stone therapy or hot stone massage therapy is one of the most popular massage technique. It makes use of both hot and cold stones. This is based on the fact that these hot and cold stones are used to relieve both the muscle spasms and ores, and also to open the energy channels. The stones are kept on the body of the patient. Basalt and marble stones are used to provide hot and cold massages.

In this technique, the patient is asked to lie down on a stone bed. The river stones are heated between 125 and 135 degrees. A towel is kept between the client and stone bed. It acts as an insulator. Alternate hot and cold stones are placed.

During the course, the patient is asked to lie down on a bed of stones with a towel between the stones and the body as an insulator. LaStone therapy is usually carried out in combination with more intense, deep-tissue massage for added efficacy.
