LaStone Therapy benefits both Therapist and Client alike.
The physiological benefits of alternating hot and cold to the body have long been scientifically and medically proven. It is the ultimate Mind, Body, Spirit Treatment.
A LaStone course teaches therapists how to work without the pressure and effort that manual massage has on the working the body. Therapists soon discover that because the temperature and weight of the stones carry out the work, the stress and strain to their hands, wrists and arms are virtually eliminated.
Therapists are able to work more efficiently for longer periods of time without damaging tissue or suffering from RSI injuries.
A LaStone treatment is totally flexible; once you have studied our foundation course you will have the skills to add the LaStone principles to any treatment or therapy that you are qualified to perform.
LaStone has led the research into all aspects of Stone Therapy . Including how temperature affects the bodies systems and organs, the correct stones and professional equipment, and we have been in the forefront of Stone Sanitation which in the current situation is more important then ever before.
History
LaStone was created by Mary Nelson from Tucson, Arizona in 1993. Mary was suffering from a rotator cuff injury which hampered her ability to give deep tissue massage. Whilst in a sauna of a therapy centre she then worked in, she was guided to pick up a warm stone and soon realised its potential. Mary first called working with stones – ‘Hot Stone Massage’ a term used by a number of training organisations even today. After a while, the cool marble joined the warm basalt and LaStone was born. Mary now has retired from LaStone but continues to work with the stones in a different direction.
