The ferruginous qualities of the stone will open blood vessels and increase blood flow, relaxing the muscles and mood

It is ideal for the remedial massage therapist looking to incorporate hot stones into their treatment. 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. 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. This makes it more convenient for the therapist to handle and more comfortable to lie on the body.

How to Use:

1. Preparation: Begin by thoroughly cleaning the stones using warm water and a mild disinfectant. Ensure they are completely dry before use. Heat the stones in a professional stone heater to a temperature between 49°C to 54°C. Always check the temperature with a thermometer to avoid overheating.
2. Setting Up: While the stones are heating, prepare your massage table with towels and a blanket. Lay out the stones in the order you plan to use them, ensuring easy access during the session. Have a bowl of cool water and a towel nearby to adjust the temperature of the stones if needed.
3. Application: Begin by applying a light layer of massage oil to the client’s skin to facilitate smooth movement of the stones. Place the larger stones on key areas such as the back, shoulders, and thighs, allowing the heat to penetrate deeply into the muscles. Use smaller stones to massage more delicate areas, like the neck, face, and hands. Glide the stones over the skin with gentle pressure, following the contours of the body.
4. Finishing the Treatment: Remove the stones in the reverse order of application, starting with the smaller stones. Conclude the massage with a gentle hand massage to ensure the client feels balanced and relaxed.
5. Aftercare: After the session, clean the stones with warm water and disinfectant, drying them thoroughly before storing them back in the box. Remind clients to drink plenty of water post-treatment to aid in detoxification.
