Types Of Stones Used For Massage

There are quite a few different types of stones used for massage. The wider variety of stones a massage therapist has in his or her collection, the grander the potential scope of therapeutic results. Here at River Rock Massage, we offer a wide variety of stones and supplies for discount prices.

A stone massage therapist can never have too many rocks in his collection. The collection itself should be as versatile and flexible as the number of patients and their symptoms. From basic basalt rocks to chakra stones, the more options practitioners can offer their subjects, the better and more beneficial their technique stands to become.

Types of Stones Used for Massage: What is the Best Choice for You?
Basalt stones are fundamental to any stone therapy collection. Volcanic rock formations known for their heat-retaining properties, basalt stones are used in many techniques of hot rock massage. When warmed with a stone heater, basalt rock maintains its warmth for a considerable amount of time. Frequently, therapists pair heated basalt rock with cool textured stones such as Arizona salt or river rocks in order to deliver a comprehensive treatment.

At River Rock Massage, we are well versed in the art of stone massage therapy and committed to helping professional practitioners find exactly what they need to improve their practice.
