BAMBOO BODY MASSAGE

STONE THERAPY MASSAGE (HOT AND COLD STONES)

Two different massages using tools from the earth.  

BAMBOO

One is a body massage carried out on a couch using bamboo tools and hot and cold stones.  These become an extension of my hands.  They are of varying lengths and sizes and I can apply deep tissue movements with ease bringing increased circulation, relief of sores muslces and a deep state of relaxation. 

Bamboo is unique because its walls are covered with silica. This creates an outer cover of tiny quartz like crystal matrixes that are activated when they encounter the right conditions of mechanical stress.

The two main properties of quartz are piezo- and pyro-electricity.  The properties of some materials to convert mechanical energy to electrical current. "Piezo" is a Greek word that means "to squeeze." So an  a voltage is produced, an energetic charge is activated and released with pressure and pyro-electricity with heat. As I work, pressure is applied with the bamboo stick and the friction that is created will activate the molecular structure in the silica charging the bamboo, such external electrical stimulation may lead to healing changes.

HOT AND COLD STONES

Geo, meaning Earth/Stone (geology), and thermal meaning temperature (thermometer), defines Geothermal stone therapy as treatment with stones and temperatures.

Geothermal therapy provides intense relaxation of muscles with hot stones, but can also provide healing of muscles that are highly inflamed from injury, stress, or medical procedures.

One reason that therapists like using both types of stones is because muscle's react positively to them. Hot stone massage therapy relaxes the muscles and helps to prepare for healing. I use volcanic lava rocks. That have long been used by ancient cultures to promote healing.

The cold stones make have anti-inflammatory effects, stimulate pain relieving chemicals,  help prevent muscle damage, reduce chemical irritants - they help release tension like ice melting.  They are sedimentary stones from river, sea and lake beds.

There is a softening effect hot and cold temperatures bring to the client's muscles.  Bamboo and stones can be used in the same massage if requested to make a unique, effective and highly enjoyable massage.

You will feel cradled, protected, balanced and relaxed by these tools from the healing energies of our Earth.
