Why use lithos therapy?

It's healing...

The application of heated and chilled Rocks stimulates your circulation, encouraging the flow of blood enriched with oxygen and nutrients which accelerates healing. Applying heated Rocks to sore muscles eases tension, alleviates stiffness and increases flexibility. The chilled Rocks reduce inflammation.

It's cleansing and deeply relaxing...

The gentle weight of each rock combined with massage helps to push toxins out of the muscles and into the lymphatic system to assist in eliminating metabolic waste. The strategic placement of either heated or chilled rocks on the neck, shoulders, back and arms, prepares the areas for deeper massage. The heated and chilled benefits of the rocks on the body acts immediately, even before the therapist incorporates a massage. The rocks combined with massage, in effect magnifies each massage stroke because the muscle tissue has been 'loosened' by the rocks. The benefits go beyond the therapist’s hands alone.

It's preventative...

Lithos Therapy™ encourages the release of endorphins. When incorporated into a regular health and fitness program, Lithos treatments improve the integrity of soft tissue (muscles, tendons and ligaments) reducing the likelihood of injury. Lithos helps to increase the elasticity of collagen fibres in tendons, promoting greater flexibility.

It's beneficial...

When used in a facial or body wrap, heated Lithos rock instruments open your pores encouraging the release of toxins and the penetration of active ingredients. The chilled rock instruments calm the skin by reducing the redness. This anti-inflammatory effect is ideal for people with acne or psoriasis. The chilled rock instruments are ideal for soothing the skin after the extractions or waxing. A combination of heated and chilled rocks can also help to reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes.
