How to Use:

1. Preparation:
   • For Hot Stone Massage: Heat the marble stones in a professional stone heater until they reach the desired temperature (typically between 45-55°C). Always check the temperature before applying them to the client’s skin to avoid burns.
   • For Cold Stone Therapy: Place the stones in a refrigerator or a bowl of ice water for at least 30 minutes prior to the session.
2. Application:
   • Start by applying a layer of massage oil to the client’s skin to reduce friction.
   • Use the larger stones for broad areas such as the back, shoulders, and thighs. Glide the stones smoothly over the muscles, applying gentle pressure.
   • For more targeted work, switch to the smaller stones, focusing on areas like the neck, face, and hands. These stones can also be used in static placements on specific points to release tension.
3. Contrast Therapy:
   • Alternate between hot and cold stones during the session to enhance circulation and promote healing. This technique is particularly effective for treating inflammation and muscle stiffness.
4. Post-Session Care:
   • After the treatment, cleanse the stones with warm water and a mild soap. Disinfect them with an alcohol-based solution to ensure they are ready for the next client.
