How to Use:

1. Preparation: Begin by heating the stones in a professional stone heater. Ensure the water temperature is between 50-60°C for optimal results. Use a thermometer to monitor the water temperature, ensuring the stones are evenly heated.
2. Application: Apply a thin layer of massage oil or lotion to the client’s skin to facilitate smooth movement of the stones. Starting with larger muscle groups, use the flat surface of the triangular stone to warm and relax the area. Glide the stone over the skin with gentle pressure.
3. Targeting Specific Areas: For more focused work, such as trigger point therapy, use the pointed end of the stone to apply deeper pressure to specific areas. Adjust the pressure based on the client’s comfort level. The edges of the triangular stone can be used to work along the spine, under the scapula, and in other areas where more detailed attention is required.
4. Cooling Down: After the massage, allow the stones to cool naturally before cleaning them with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
5. Post-Treatment Care: Store the stones in a dry, cool place. Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage to ensure they remain in optimal condition.
