Basalt Massage Stones ...
and natural healing 

Basalt massage stones are the most popular stones used in the massage therapy industry. Giving a full body massage with them, ensures they will retain their heat, and provide the deepest relaxation possible.

Tips on Using Basalt Massage Stones for relaxation and natural stress relief!

Your hot stone massage set should provide enough stones for a full body hot stone massage therapy session, always including large, medium, and small stones.

Different types of massage stones can be used to deliver heat during a stone treatment, but basalt is the most common. It is perfect for therapeutic treatments as it releases heat slowly, making it ideal for hot stone massage sessions. 

Stones are the most important part of a hot stone therapy treatment.

When choosing massage stones, understand that the best stones for massage therapy are not ‘shaped’ stones, but natural stones.

Shaped massage stones are great for specific treatments like trigger point therapy, or deep tissue of massage therapy, but usually are not used in a relaxing hot stone massage treatment.

Finding just the right size and shape of basalt massage stones to do the work is important. The correct texture and density of the stone is very important in maintaining the temperature needed to do a stone therapy.

An instructional hot stone massage DVD is a "must-have" for anyone who wants to provide a deeply relaxing stone massage session for their clients. This DVD provides instruction on not just giving a full body massage, but caring for the stones, using a stone heater, and ensuring the highest safety.

It is essential to find a stone supplier that offers naturally tumbled stone that is consistent in size and shape. This ensures the massage stones will indeed hold the heat needed in order to effectively perform a treatment. They will also feel great in the hands of the massage therapist and on the body of client.

Important factors in choosing your massage stone set:

• that the stones have a consistently smooth texture
• that the set included well-paired stones
• that the set offers enough stones to rotate in and out of the heater to maintain the consistent temperature that you need
• and that the set isn’t just a collection of round stones, but an on purpose configuration of useful shapes and sizes.
