Product Description
Basalt massage stones are a gift from Peruvian rivers. These high - quality basalt stones are carefully hand - selected from Peruvian riverbeds. The gentle water flow has naturally sculpted them into unique shapes. They carry natural energy and are picked for their ideal thickness and excellent heat - retaining ability. Basalt is a volcanic rock, rich in silica with traces of iron, which enables the stones to hold heat effectively. Unlike mass - produced stones, each TheraTools hot stone is distinct and designed to fit comfortably in the palm. These thin stones have a rounded end, perfect for releasing trigger points or performing deep - tissue work on spasming muscles. The heat they emit relaxes the troublesome muscles, making the therapist's job a breeze. They're a great alternative to using thumbs, protecting therapists' hands from overuse. Each pair includes two stones, sized approximately 3” to 4”, and the color may vary.
Using these TheraTools basalt trigger point stones is easy. First, heat the stones in a stone heater according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, hold the stone in your palm and use the rounded end to target trigger points or work on deep - tissue areas of the spasming muscles. Gently apply pressure and move the stone in circular motions. When using, always check the temperature of the stones on a less sensitive area of the body first to avoid burns. After each use, clean the stones with a mild soap and warm water, then dry them thoroughly. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not overheat the stones, as this may damage them and reduce their heat - retaining ability.
