Placed between toes during a hot stone massage treatment to relax and relieve tired and sore feet

Their narrow shape and small size makes them comfortable to leave in place for an extended period. Basalt stones have a volcanic origin and are the most recommended type for hot stone therapy. Their high ferruginous component, non-porous, smooth texture, combined with high heat retention ability make them ideal for hot stone massage. The ferruginous qualities of the stone will open blood vessels and increase blood flow, relaxing the muscles and mood. Perfectly rounded compressed stone shapes rarely occur in nature so our stones are hand moulded to ensure each rock is a standard size and shape.

Each stone is approximately L3.7 x W2.7 x H0.8cm.

How to Use:

Step 1: Preparation: Begin by heating the basalt toe stones in a stone heater to a temperature between 49°C – 54°C. Ensure the temperature is comfortable to touch before applying to the client’s skin. Ask your client to relax in a comfortable position, ideally lying down with their feet slightly elevated.

Step 2: Application: Carefully place the heated toe stones between the toes or on the top and bottom of the feet, focusing on key pressure points. You can also use the stones to massage the toe area gently. Leave the stones in place for 5-10 minutes, allowing the heat to penetrate deeply, relaxing muscles and improving circulation. For a more intensive experience, incorporate the stones into a massage, using them to apply pressure in circular motions.

Step 3: Post-Treatment: After the treatment, slowly remove the stones, allowing the feet to cool naturally. Wipe the stones with a clean cloth and let them cool down before storing. Wash the stones with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry before placing them back in their storage case, ready for the next use.
