Description

These natural stones will vary slightly in exact size and shape, but the general dimensions are noted for each stone. These stones are ideal for uses where you want the effect of a ball or small roller coupled with heat to more quickly loosen up tight muscular knots. Heat the stones in 160 degree water, but be careful when first applying to the skin! It is best to use a barrier (sheet, shirt, or towel) between your skin and the stone to prevent any burns. Use it under your neck for a warming sensation that can help with tension headaches. Or use it under your arm, thigh, or calf while doing some of the standard SMR exercises.

Neck Pillow: Use this small stone in place of a ball when practicing SMR techniques for the added benefit of increased blood flow to the area you are addressing. For many people just a short time of applying heat along with the pressure techniques affords them lasting relief from issues they otherwise could not work out on their own. For a treat use this under your neck before bed. (Ohhhhhh so good!) Use the neck pillow in the shower with the green cylinder for a treat. Place the cylinder and neck pillow on your shower floor and allow the hot or warm water to run over your foot while you slowly roll your arch several times on the cylinder and then gently press your arch into the neck pillow stone. (FANTASTIC for any type of foot pain caused by tight muscles!)

Sacral Belly: This large and heavy stone helps relieve cramping and adds a sense of being grounded when used in the lower belly area. It also delivers a deep, penetrating warmth to the musculature of the lower back and upper sacral region. Use this large stone in place of a ball or roller when practicing SMR techniques for the added benefit of increased blood flow to the area you are addressing. For many people just a short time of applying heat along with the pressure techniques affords them lasting relief from issues they otherwise could not work out on their own. For a treat use this under your lower back or hips before bed. (Ohhhhhh so good!)

Green Cylinder: This is the ONLY marble stone recommended for both hot or cold stone work. Marble doesn’t tend to hold heat well like the basalt stones, which are the stone of choice for heat work. You can chill this cylinder in the refrigerator or freezer, or warm it under the hot water in your sink or in a stone heater (similar to a crock pot), but be careful when first applying to the skin! Use the marble cylinder much like any other SMR roller under your forearm, upper arm, neck, calf, or arch of the foot while doing some of the standard SMR exercises. When heated or chilled the temperature change can greatly assist the soft tissue in responding more quickly to the pressure applied during the SMR exercises. Get 30 minutes of SMR work done in less than 5 minutes! Use this cylinder with the neck pillow in the shower for a treat. Place the cylinder and neck pillow on your shower floor and allow the hot or warm water to run over your foot while you slowly roll your arch several times on the cylinder and then gently press your arch into the neck pillow stone. (FANTASTIC for any type of foot pain caused by tight muscles!)

There are MANY more basalt stones utilized at spas for hands-on hot stone massage than we sell on this site. Many of the stones used in spas are being used by a licensed therapist working ON YOU rather than you using them on yourself. The stones you see listed above are the ones we have selected as the most beneficial for home use. You should proceed with caution when using any of them. You can very literally burn yourself with stones that are too hot for use. (BE CAREFUL!)
