Cold stone massage recipients enjoy a variety of benefits.  Cold stone therapy is ideal for sports injuries because it reduces pain and swelling from the site and accelerates healing.  Cold stones placed on the face (usually over a towel or cloth) help alleviate sinus problems like congestion and swelling as well as reduce under eye bags and dark circles.  Menstrual discomfort like bloating and pain due to cramps is relieved by cold stones.  Clients who suffer from high blood pressure may benefit from cold stone massage therapy as well.  Overall, cold stones improve a person’s mood—lifting depression, decreasing anxiety and generally increasing their overall energy level.

So give cold stone massage therapy a try—either by itself or with hot stone therapy.  It is a fun and helpful way to heal injuries, reduce swelling and inflammation and get an energy boost.
