CORESTONES

CoreStones fall under the umbrella of IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization). They’re made from soapstone, nature’s most efficient thermal conductor. Two major benefits of soapstone: heat resistance and retention/retention and resistance to absorption and non-porosity. This means they heat quickly, retain heat, and their silky-smooth texture allows perfect contact with soft tissues. Their unique shapes allow for broad, soothing, relaxing treatment, as well as targeted work and myofascial scraping.

Is this right for me?

Corestones are an amazing step-up alternative to hands-only massage therapy and provide a tailored treatment to your specific needs for:

    •Stress and anxiety

    •Joint and muscle pain 

    •Muscle stiffness

What are the benefits, and what should you expect?

The main goal of treatment is to reduce muscle stiffness, reduce stress, and help you move and feel better.

Benefits include:

    •Soothing heat to reduce stress/anxiety                   

    •Increase blood flow to support healing

    •Increase mobility

Corestones tools provide heat during treatment, so your therapist will communicate before applying stones to the treatment area. If they are too hot at first, your therapist may let the stone cool for a couple of minutes. Everyone has different heat tolerances, so communication is key to ensuring the temperature is right for your treatment. With a more targeted treatment you may experience mild tenderness or light temporary redness/bruising in the treated are afterward - this is completely normal and typically resolves quickly. However, causing pain or bruising is never our goal; your comfort and recovery always come first.
