Massage Stones

Selecting the right massage materials is an important responsibility for any professional stone therapist. This is particularly true of practitioners who utilize a variety of different treatment methods. At River Rock Massage we understand that the selection can be overwhelming and would therefore like to offer the following tips on choosing wisely.

Basalt rocks are the most basic of all massage stones. Volcanic rocks with extraordinary heat retention capabilities, basalt stones are something that all stone massage therapists should have. When investing in basalt stones, it is usually recommended to purchase a set. Pre-selected and assorted for optimum balance, basalt sets provide a sturdy foundation onto which professionals can build a practice.

Professional Massage Stones
Arizona salt rocks are equally effective as basalt stones, but for different reasons. Textured stones that are believed to improve circulation and redirect positive energy, Arizona salt rocks are ideal for clients who complain of frequent fatigue. For clients to whom stress is an issue, chakra stones are excellent choices for spiritual realignment.

As you can see, there are lots of options to consider when it comes to massage stones. The ones that are right for you will largely depend on your area of expertise as well as your general aesthetic.
