This therapy is helpful for: increasing circulation and lymphatic drainage, decreasing menstrual pain, reducing fascial restrictions (i.e. tight IT bands!), reduce post-workout muscle soreness and enhancing relaxation. Cold stone therapy can also be used for acute injuries, tension headaches and sinus congestion.
