Before practicing hot stone massage, many practitioners consider the number of stones in the set as the most important feature – i.e. ’more means better’.  But in fact
the most important consideration is the weight of the stones.

It is the basalt in the stone which retains the heat. If you want more heat to be transferred to your client’s body you have to have more ‘stone’ in the stones!
An average hot stone set (with up to 40-50 stones) has an average weight of 4-5 Kg, with many small stones that retain minimal heat (and get cool faster).
Bodyology hot stones set weights about 7-8 Kg and more! The extra weight will ensure you have more heat ‘under your hands’ to deliver for a longer time to your client. This also means you need to change stones less often.

Are heavier stones too heavy to use? Certainly not! Our stones  are all tested to ensure therapist comfort.

Another important issue is the stones’ surface. A very smooth and shiny stone may look great, but in reality those stones glide on the skin resulting in a superficial massage.

Bodyology hot stones originate from the volcanic mountains around the Jordan valley and have been smoothed over millions of years on their way down to the Sea of Galilee.

Bodyology hot stones are cleaned, sorted, packed and labelled based on size and function. As bodies are different shapes and sizes, our stones reflect this in their varied sizes and shapes. A good working stone has angles and curves to allow the therapist access to hard to reach muscles.

Testimonials

“I have started practicing Hot Stone massage after training with Dror and now I really regret buying my stones before hand as they are not as large as the stone you supply and do not hold the heat as well. I find I have to put them back to reheat constantly” (Sarah-Jane, 2005)

"I have been useing the stones  already and they are great. Maybe one of the large effleurage ones is a bit too heavy. Not sure yet. I'll try again today and let you know maybe to change it for a smaller one if possible."
(Marta, 2007).
