Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone massage is a therapeutic massage as well as a very relaxing and calming massage. The unique stones used are formed from Volcanic (warm) and Sedimentary (cool) components. These stones are especially known for their heat and cold retention. This is why a stone massage has such powerful effects on the local, systemic, and energy centers of your body.

Hot stone therapy combines traditional massage with use of the stones as extensions of the therapist's hands. This massage is 10 times more effective than the normal massage. The hot stones are placed strategically on the body, to deeply penetrate your muscles and nervous system. Down your spine, on your hips, under your shoulders, between your fingers and toes, are just some examples. Cold stones can also be used with this treatment to stimulate your circulation, and bring decongestion to specific areas.

The stones are placed on specific areas of the body to give you the following effects.

• Removes toxins
• Accelerates lymph drainage
• Increases range of motion of muscles and joints
• Calms the nervous system
• Increases the flow and rate of blood circulation
• Provides relaxation, decongestion and detoxification of your organs

Background:
Studies Began at New York College of Health Professions and completed at Helma Institute of Massage Therapy. Saddle Brook, N.J. Obtaining diploma in Professional and Clinical Massage Therapy.

Fran has been servicing families of Brooklyn and the surrounding boughs for over 5 years with quality therapeutic massage. Her touch is therapeutic by all accounts. Her specialty is orthopedic massage which is different from Swedish technique that are more commonly known. While the Swedish style is noted for it's long gliding strokes and kneading of muscle tissue; orthopedic massage serves to help treat deep muscular dysfunctions such as whip lash, carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back strain, neck and shoulder pain, sciatic pain. It also serves to bring relief to those suffering from arthritis, symptoms that stems from Muscular Dystrophy, anxiety, and  insomnia.

Fran is a true believer of client self care. She takes time to interview the client before and after sessions to help the individual better understand how many mechanical dysfunctions can be minimized. Each person receives individualized attention to bring about results.
