The therapist concentrates on different areas of the body, exercising pressure, stretching and passive gymnastic movements that work through the bodily meridian lines.
Warm stones of volcanic origin are used to heighten the state of relaxation and help stabilise the whole organism. The therapy helps alleviate multiple problems, including tension, stress, insomnia, muscular pain, neuralgia, swellings, etc. Cold stones are also applied, giving an extraordinary stimulus to the restoration of organic balance, while raising bodily energy levels, since the opening of the Chokra helps to restabilise the flow of energy throughout the whole frame.
