Shaped Massage Stones
3 shaped stones that destroy tension-filled muscles!
Shaped massage stones provide the therapist an easier way to work muscles, either deeper muscles or muscles that are hard to reach. They may be marble or basalt stone.
Those that are shaped and polished by nature make a massage tool like none other. But, hand-carved stones allow you to work deeper muscles, with less effort.
Stones can also make the massage a more relaxing experience for the therapist as well as the client, providing warmth and comfort for the hands and wrists.
Many basalt shaped stones retain their heat for long periods of time.
However, marble stones, which are usually hand-crafted, can be used in cold stone treatments for soreness, inflammation and pain, and stay cold for long periods of time.
The stones are easy to use at home for common ailments like headaches, sinusitis, sore muscles, neck pain and back pain. They can give the benefits of deep tissue work without the strain and stress of using the hand muscles.
