Theratools Basalt Stone Set, Facial, 35 piece

Details

Purposefully assembled for facial massage and detailed thermal touch—this 35-piece basalt set supports full protocols for facial contouring, placement therapy, and reflex-based grounding techniques. Each stone is hand-selected and polished from dense, Peruvian river-smoothed basalt to retain warmth and glide smoothly across delicate facial features and small muscle groups.

Treatment Recommendations
Warm stones using a safe, professional method such as a Theratools Warming Tray, Mobile Warming Bag, or roaster-style warmer. Always test stones carefully on your forearm before applying to the client, and check in before placement. Start with gentle placement stones on the chest or palms, then move into facial glides using small warmed stones on cheeks, chin, and forehead. Use toe or hand stones for reflex support, static holds, or grounding placements to connect the facial work to the full-body experience.
