h4>Exquisite Basalt Massage Stones Shaped by Peruvian River Currents
These top - notch basalt stones are carefully handpicked from the rivers of Peru. The gentle flow of water has naturally sculpted them into unique shapes. Infused with natural energy, they are selected for their ideal thickness and excellent heat - retaining capabilities. Basalt, being of volcanic origin, has a mineral composition mainly of silica with traces of iron, which enables these stones to hold heat remarkably well.
Unlike mass - produced counterparts, every TheraTools hot stone is distinct and ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the palm.
This 61 - piece massage stone set is a perfect toolkit for various massage techniques. It includes a generous quantity of large, medium, and small working stones. This allows you to easily rotate the stones in and out of the heater, ensuring a consistent and perfect temperature for your client. Along with regular working stones, it comes with a Sacral Belly Stone and other specialty placement stones to achieve the perfect balance during a stone massage. Note that the listed stone sizes are approximate, and colors may vary.
Details of the Stones in This Set
8 Small Stones, 2' - 2.5'
These little gems fit snugly in a therapist's hands. They're great for different massage strokes like effleurage and petrissage. They're also perfect for treating small, tight areas of the body such as the neck.
12 Medium Stones, 2.5' - 3'
Ideal for medium - sized muscles like the calf and upper arm/body muscles. They have a bit more mass than the small stones but are still easy to handle.
12 Large Stones, 3' - 3.5'
Use these large stones directly on areas with dense muscles, like the pectorals or thighs. They can also serve as a second set of gluteal or palm stones when required.
8 Facial Stones, 1.5' - 2'
Fantastic for face, ear, and neck massages. You can chill them and place them over the eyes to reduce swelling and tone facial muscles. Use gentle effleurage strokes around the eyes and lips.
8 Toe Stones, 1' - 1.5'
Placing these hot stones between the toes or fingers helps relax the muscles that get a lot of stress from walking, wearing tight shoes, writing, or typing.
8 Spinal Layout Stones, 2' - 2.5'
These stones work wonders when placed along the erector spinae to loosen tight back muscles.
2 Palm/Gluteal Stones, 3.25' - 3.75'
They fit nicely in the client's hands for warmth and comfort as a placement stone. They can also be used as effleurage stones.
1 Sacral/Belly Stone, 4.5” to 5”
This large, heavy stone relieves cramping and gives a sense of grounding when used on the lower belly. It also provides deep, penetrating warmth to the lower back and upper sacral muscles.
2 Trigger Point Stones, 3' to 4'
These thin stones with a rounded end are used to release trigger points or do deep - tissue work on spasming muscles. The heat from the stones relaxes the muscles, making the therapist's job easier and reducing hand fatigue.
Using your TheraTools Basalt Premium Therapy Stone Set is a breeze. First, heat the stones in a heater designed for massage stones. Make sure to follow the heater's instructions for the right temperature, usually around 120 - 130°F. When taking the stones out, use tongs to avoid burns. Start with the larger stones on big muscle areas like the back and thighs. Then, move on to the medium and small stones for more detailed work. For facial and toe stones, you can use them at a lower temperature or even chill them in the fridge. When using the Sacral/Belly Stone, place it gently on the lower belly area. The Trigger Point Stones are great for targeting specific muscle knots. As for the placement stones like the Spinal Layout Stones, arrange them carefully along the relevant body parts. Now, for the important stuff: always check the stones for any cracks or damage before use. Don't overheat the stones as it can cause them to break. After each use, clean the stones with mild soap and warm water, then dry them thoroughly. Store the stones in a dry, safe place to keep them in good condition. Enjoy your relaxing and therapeutic massages with this amazing stone set!
