Theratools Basalt Trigger Point Stones, 1 pair

Details

Focused, precise, and deceptively powerful—these slim basalt stones are designed to help therapists release deep muscular tension with less strain and more control. Their compact, tapered shape allows for targeted pressure in the neck, shoulders, and other high-tension zones, while the naturally heat-retentive basalt delivers steady warmth to soften tissue and support nervous system relaxation.

Therapists appreciate the thumb-saving design. Clients feel the relief.

Includes: 2 slim basalt trigger-point stones

Treatment Recommendations
Warm using a Theratools Warming Tray, Mobile Warming Bag, or roaster-style warmer. Always test temperature on your forearm before use, and check in with the client before applying pressure. Use for focused release in the upper trapezius, cervical spine, shoulder girdle, or glutes. Can be used for static pressure or gliding techniques to help unwind stubborn trigger points and promote circulation—especially helpful at the start or end of a session.
