Hot Stone Bag, the original hot stone heating bag.a way to make hot stone massage mobile.
easier and more convenient storage
we born out of the desire to make hot stone massage therapymobile. With the only professional option on the market being a hotstone water heater, we looked to create something unique andflexible enough to open hot stone massage up to possibilities thathave not been options before.
After consulting with hot stone lecturers and therapists, aswell as researching into the history of hot stone massage, it wasclear that water for heating stones was not necessary. We foundthat by not using water, the whole process of preparing for a hotstone massage was more efficient, saving the therapist time andmoney.
Eventually, after 2 years of research and development, we launchedour Hot Stone Bag, the original hot stone heating bag.
Benefits of the Bag
The obvious advantage of our Bag is that finally there isa way to make hot stone massage mobile. But have you alsoconsidered the following benefits?
Equipment: Due to the stones being warmedby a dry heat and having an in-built thermometer, there is no moreneed for the following traditionally used equipment: thermometer,gloves, scoops, nets etc.
Increased productivity: Not only does theBag take less time to set up, but unlike a water stone heater, thebag can be transported whilst retaining heat even after its beendisconnected from the mains, allowing the therapist to preheat thestones at home, thus saving time (and money!) at the clients house.See our quick formula (right) for how the bag pays for itself.
Dual-powered: As well as being powered byan AC power supply, the bag also features a car lighter adaptor,allowing the stones to be pre-heated in transit.
Storage: The I is around half thesize of a small water heater! This allows for easier and moreconvenient storage in spas, colleges, therapy rooms, beauty salonsand even at home.
Mobility: The size of the bag also allowsfor easier transport and deployment than the current availableheating equipment. Maintenance: Unlike existing water stoneheaters, the Bag does not require regular cleaning due to limescalebuild-up.
