LASTONE PAMPER
For a total relax, there is nothing better than a LaStone massage.
It is totally flexible to suit the client’s needs. It creates
balance and harmony on all levels. Using deep, penetrating, heated
stones and alternating with chilled stones, brings about a chemical
release within the body’s system to balance and recharge you
mentally, emotionally and physically.

LASTONE SPORTS MASSAGE
Athletes are now realising the benefits of LaStone massage and
it is also now being introduced to football clubs. Massaging with
stones will quickly move lactic acid, and the contrasting temperatures
improves circulation, increases flow of lymph and stimulates the
nervous system.
Paul Norris, Bolton
“I would always expect to get stiffness the day after a hard
training run or triathlon, but since I started having regular LaStone
sports massage, the lactic acid is quickly moved and I’m raring
to go the next day.”

SPORTS INJURIES WITH LASTONE
Calf muscles, Achilles tendons, tennis elbow, plantafascitias,
hamstrings shoulder injuries and back problems have all been treated
successfully with LaStone. The recovery time can be much quicker
than other methods and a lot of injuries can re-occur, but the stones
break down the scar tissue to help prevent this.
Shaun Gray, Leigh
“I love my squash and hate being out of action, but when I
got an Achilles injury I thought that I would be out for several
weeks, after listening to others who have had the injury. But two
sessions of LaStone and I was back swinging my bat again.”
Back to List
LASTONE REMEDIAL MASSAGE
As we get older muscle tendons and ligaments shorten. This can
cause stiffness, bad posture, back problems and a tight chest. To
do nothing about this would be a down hill spiral. LaStone remedial
massage along with some gentle exercise, will keep those muscles
supple, relieve stiffness and tension and bring a better blood flow
back to those muscles once again.
Terry Cooke, Manager
“After 20 years of back pain I thought that I had tried everything
and was beginning to think that it was something I would just have
to live with. But then I discovered LaStone. After the first session
it was fifty per cent better. After the second I was pain free.
Miracles really do happen.”

LASTONE REFLEXOLOGY
Every part of the body is connected by energy pathways to reflex
points on the soles of the feet. The stones take reflexology to
another level. Tiny deposits in the feet are cleared to restore
the energy flow to the whole of the body. Reflexology can relieve
conditions such as back pain, insomnia, rheumatism, and stress,
migraine, asthma, bladder and period problems.
Brenda Askew, Westhoughton
“I love having reflexology but when I tried LaStone reflexology
it gave it another dimension. It is totally relaxing and I always
feel the benefit of each treatment.”

HOPI
EAR CANDLE
Therapists - Val
Barker, Dougie Tobutt, Brenda
Kirkham
Hopi Ear Candle is an ancient healing process that involves placing
a process wax-coated cloth in your ear and lighting it. The heat
from the flame passes down the tube and softens any wax before drawing
it out into the base of the cone. It is soothing and helpful for
earache, headache, ear noise and stress. It also helps with catarrh,
ear pressure and sooths sinus irritations, whilst improving hearing,
smell and taste. Ear candles have a purely physical function. A
light suction action (chimney effect) and the movement of the flame
create a vibration of air in the ear candle, generating a massage
like effect on the eardrum. This induces a pleasant feeling of warmth
and a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses. The
benefits have been well known through therapists and confirmed by
thousands of doctors worldwide.

In today’s environment we are exposed to large

foods we eat laced with additives, preservatives and colourings.
Our bodies treat these substances as poisons, which over time stay
in the body and build up as something called a ‘toxin load’.
For many people this toxicity can be the underlying cause of numerous
long-standing medical complaints and also contribute towards future
sickness and disease. CEDS (Computerised Electro Derma Screening)
treatment is effective in helping many conditions such as: Skin
Problems, Weight issues, Digestion, Arthritis, Migraines, Viruses,
Hyperactivity, Fatigue, Thyroid, Muscular and other serious health
problems.
