Origin of La Stone Therapy:


The invention of La Stone Therapy dates back to the year 1993 when its creator Mary Hannigan was seated in a sauna with her niece. She seemed to hear a voice which said “Use the stones”.The voice had a profound effect on her mind and she hurriedly picked up a few stones and massaged them on her niece's back. She justified that stones are linked to the earth which brings us in contact with nature and they could be used for holistic treatments. She claimed further that this type of therapy can aid in emotional healing and provide a deep sense of relaxation.

Procedure of La Stone Therapy:

  • On the massage table, large flat stones are placed in 3-4 rows
  • Towel is placed over the stones
  • Recipient is laid on themselves
  • Stones are placed over the chest, thigh, belly and chest and even beneath the palms
