Jersey Shore Myofascial Release Center is excited to announce the addition of their NEW Massage Therapist, Pepi Spurr.  Pepi has an extensive background in sports massage/deep tissue, pregnancy massage, and mastectomy scar release and has been practicing for over 15 years .  She is also one of the only massage therapists in Toms River practicing La Stone therapy.

La Stone therapy is similar to hot stone massage but it uses 54 hot stones, 18 cold stones and one room temperature stone and can only be performed by someone who is certified to be a La Stone therapist.  This is to prevent any insufficient training that can be a problem with hot stone massage.

La Stone Therapy is a trademarked style of therapy that uses both hot and cold stones to massage the body.  Although cold stones do not sound very relaxing, they actually have been scientifically and medically proven to have a beneficial effect and can bring relief to tired and sore muscles.  Alternating between heat and cold both stimulates and relaxes the circulatory system, which helps detoxify the body.  The heated stones bring oxygenated blood to the area of application , increasing lymph flow and metabolism , while  the chilled marble stones create a dramatic movement of fluids within the body by pushing away the unwanted congestion, inflammation and blockages.   In this way the use of alternating temperatures brings about healing, balance and rejuvenation.  This can also aid in the balancing of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies.  The use of the alternating hot and cold stones , allows the therapist to penetrate and gently work the tissues at a deeper level than is possible in traditional massage.  This makes LaStone Therapy a very good detoxification program combined with Myofascial Release and an excellent immune system booster.

LaStone therapy begins with gentle stretches and swedish massage to warm up the body’s muscle tissues and then the therapist uses both the hot and cold stones as an extension of her hands while continuing the massage.  Stones of varying weight are also placed on the body’s key energy channels, including the seven main chakras.  Chakras are the openings for life energy to flow into and out of our aura. Their function is to vitalize the physical body and to bring about the development of our self-consciousness. They are associated with our physical, mental and emotional interactions.

The combination of La Stone and Myofascial Release therapy can help balance the bodies energy field, and enhance personal awareness.  During these treatment sessions, many clients report a release of stuck emotions which has led to relief from fatigue and irritability and a decrease in pain and tension throughout the body.  Clients often leave their treatment session in a deep state of relaxation.
