How do you use a sea salt stone?

Published in Massage Therapy 1 min read

Sea salt stones are typically used in massage therapy to relax muscles and improve circulation.

Using Sea Salt Stones

Estheticians use heated sea salt stones to provide a therapeutic massage experience. These stones are not used like regular massage tools, but rather in a specific way to maximize their benefits:

  • Heating: The sea salt stones are first heated to a comfortable temperature. This warmth is key to their therapeutic effect.
  • Placement: The heated stones are placed on various points of the body. This often includes:
    • Legs
    • Back
    • Feet
  • Gliding: After placement, the therapist gently glides the stones over the body. This gliding motion helps to:
    • Heat the muscles
    • Increase blood flow
    • Release tension

This combination of heat and movement works together to provide a deep sense of relaxation and therapeutic benefit.
