Hot
Crik-Rock Therapy
Crik-Rock therapy is a contemporary approach to alternating
body temperatures during a massage, producing alternating
sedative and reenergizing responses in the body. The art
of stone therapy is a multifaceted approach with techniques
designed to reduce stress and strain on the therapist's
hands, wrists, and arms so that the therapist can work
longer and more efficiently, thereby benefiting both client
and therapist. The stones do the heavy work so that the
possibility of repetitive stress injuries to the therapist's
thumbs and wrists is decreased. This form of bodywork
involves the use of heated and cooled stones applied to
the body in various ways.

The stones have excellent warm and cold retention qualities
and their smooth texture facilitates the gliding process.
Using various techniques and incorporating warm and cold
stones to relax the body at its deepest level, therapeutic
stone massage is a very effective way to create harmony
and a positive energy flow, thus promoting a sense of
balance, energy and peace. The physiological benefits
of alternating hot and cold to the body have long been
scientifically and medically proven as assistance to self
healing. Many clients have a hard time distinguishing
between the stones and the practitioner's hands. The technique
seems to reach deeper without having to apply more pressure.
Clients leave feeling the beneficial effects of a deep
massage without any soreness.
