What is THERMOTHERAPY APPLICATION - LA STONE THERAPY?

​

Thermotherapy: Is the application of either hot or cold to the body for the purpose of changing the physiological responses that are going on in the body to promote healing.

As you use the frozen stones the internal body begins to heat itself because the body will always attempt to go back to Homeostasis, thus LaStone Therapy is a Heating Treatment. This use of hot and cold stones is the most effective state-of –the-art massage technique in the field to date.

Circulation is rapidly changed with the use of hot and cold stones. If circulation is increased then so is nutrition and the way that every cell in the body functions. It is believed that when you increase the blood flow through the skin, liver, bowels, and kidneys that detoxification is increased. When using both hot and cold stones in a massage, you are accelerating the exchange of blood, lymph, and digestive fluids in the body. When using both extreme temperatures you increase the blood flow to the area far more so than if you had just used the hot or cold separately. This increases the circulation thus the quality of the blood is improved and therefore healing occurs.

Applications of either hot or cold stones produce a series of internal responses. A prolonged application of hot stones to an area acts as a derivative. This decreases blood and lymph from an area by increasing blood and lymph to another area. The opposite will occur with a short application of cold stones having the results of retrostasis, the pushing of blood and lymph.
