Stones For Massages
There are many different types of stones used for massages. The ones that are best suited for your practice depend on your general aesthetic as well as your level of expertise. Here at River Rock Massage, we specialize in massage stones for all types of therapy.
Stone massage is a type of therapy during which the therapist applies and manipulates stones to help patients relax muscles, increase blood and lymph circulation, and alleviate stress. The therapist selects his or her stones depending on the needs of the patient. If, for instance, the patient is complaining of a "tight" neck and "knots" in the back, the practitioner may use smooth basalt stones to knead the muscles. Treatment for fatigue, on the other hand, might require the energy-producing qualities of textured rock.
Choosing Stones for Massages
Hot stones aren't the only sort of rocks used for these massages. Textured stones are often chilled in cool water in order to reduce swelling and aid in healing. Athletes are particularly fond of massage practitioners who alternate cold textured stones and heated smooth ones during their therapy. Individuals to whom spiritual alignment is of paramount importance often prefer the use of chakra stones during their therapy.
At River Rock Massage, we are 100 percent committed to helping all professionals determine the stones that are most suitable for their practice. We offer basalt, Arizona salt rock, chakra stones and even jade.
