How to Use:

1. Preparation: Begin by thoroughly cleaning the basalt stones with warm water and a mild soap to ensure they are free of any debris or oils. Rinse them well and pat dry with a clean towel. Heat the stones in a professional stone heater until they reach the desired temperature, typically between 120-130°F (49-54°C). Ensure they are not too hot to avoid discomfort or burns on the client’s skin.
2. Application: Begin the session by placing the heated stones on the client’s body to warm up the muscles. This helps to prepare the tissue for deeper work. Once the muscles are warmed, use the pointed end of the stones to apply targeted pressure on areas of tension or trigger points. Hold the stone firmly, and use gentle, circular motions to penetrate deeper into the muscle layers. Adjust your pressure based on the client’s comfort level, ensuring that the treatment remains therapeutic and not painful. For particularly stubborn knots, you can apply more focused pressure by holding the point directly on the area for a few seconds before moving to the next spot.
3. Post-Treatment Care: After the session, clean the stones again to remove any oils or skin residue. Store the stones in a dry, cool place, ready for the next use.
