Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy and is a system of stroking, pressing
and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the body.
Massage does much more than create a pleasant sensation on the skin, it also works on the soft
tissues (the muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone. Although it largely
affects those muscles just under the skin, its benefits may also reach the deeper layers of
muscle and possibly even the organs themselves. Massage also stimulates blood circulation and
assists the lymphatic system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system), improving the
elimination of waste throughout the body.
Some Benefits Of Massage:
1.Relaxing.
2.Soothing.
3.Healing.
4.Reassuring.
5.Eases tension, stiffness, and pain.
6.Improves breathing.
7.Improves circulation.
8.Enhances well-being.
The Effects Of Massage:
Although a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of massage are cumulative and a course
of massage treatments will bring the most benefits. Regular massage can have the effect of
strengthening and toning the entire body mechanism, and so help to prevent unnecessary strains
and injuries that might otherwise occur due to excess tension and any resulting structural weaknesses.
Massage can stimulate or calm the nervous system-depending upon what is required by the individual-and
thus help reduce fatigue, leaving the receiver with a feeling of replenished energy. At its best,
massage has the potential to restore the individual physically, mentally and spiritually.
Lithos Therapy
Lithos Therapy is based on thermotherapy and cryotherapy techniques. During a full body Lithos Massage
heated and chilled rocks are placed over your entire body and used as massage instruments.
The use of both heated and chilled rocks enable the therapist to achieve a deeper and more relaxing
massage than would otherwise be possible. This provides a wonderful enhancement to any massage you
might normally have experienced.
The heated rocks prepare the body for a more effective massage that helps to melt away muscle aches and
pains, sore joints and neck problems, particularly suited to sports lovers and people on the go.
The simultaneous use of heated and chilled rocks helps to detoxify the lymph system and will provide
stimulation for your circulatory system.
Lithos treatments are doubly beneficial in that they are incredibly relaxing but they also work to lift
our overall feeling of wellbeing.
