Hot Stone Massage
If you want to try something a little different, discover this 5000 year old secret! A great hot stone massage is a specialty treatment.

Anma is one of Asia’s oldest massage techniques, dating back over 5000 years. It literally means “to press” (An) and “rub” (ma). Japanese hot stone massage comes out of that tradition, bringing with it roots in acupressure, energy meridians, and chi flow. In the days of feudal Japan, about 500 years ago, Samurai warriors were given these hot stone massage treatments to prepare them for battle. This treatment balanced their chi so they would be in their “Zen” while fighting.

By stimulating certain acupoints on the body with smooth, heated stones, the idea is to harmonize the flow of energy in the body by relaxing muscles and improving circulation.
