Massage Therapy Equipment
Successful stone massage therapy requires both a talented practitioner and high-quality equipment. A type of therapy that involves the careful placement of heated or chilled rocks as well as expert application of pressure, stone therapy requires a collection of various sizes and types of stones, heaters and accessories in order to provide optimum treatment.
The most important equipment is, of course, a diversified stone collection. Basalt stones, for instance, are known for their heat-retaining properties and are hugely popular among massage practitioners. Chakra stones, jade stones and Arizona salt stones each offer their own unique properties. Smooth stones such as basalt are best for relaxation, while textured stones such as Arizona salt rocks increase energy.
Massage Therapy Equipment: Heaters
A stone heater is just as important as the rocks themselves. Natural stones should never be heated in a microwave or oven. Warm water provides the ideal environment in that it both heats and hydrates rocks. Hydration protects them from cracking, thereby contributing to their longevity. Stone heaters provide a safe and convenient method of warming rocks to the ideal temperature.
