Treatment Recommendations

Warm or chill the tool based on your protocol. Always test the temperature on your inner forearm before use, and check in with your client to ensure comfort. Use the edge to deliver slow, gliding pressure along the forearms, thighs, calves, feet, or shoulders. Its slim design supports moderate pressure and refined control where broader tools may feel less precise.

• Therapists who prefer tools that offer flow and precision
• Clients who enjoy steady pressure with a calming touch

 

Historical & Interesting Facts

• Soapstone’s name comes from its soft, “soapy” texture—long favored by artisans and healers
• Used by Indigenous cultures for warmth-retaining vessels, carvings, and healing tools
• Prized for its ability to absorb heat gently and release it slowly—ideal for therapeutic warmth
• In colder regions, heated soapstone was wrapped in cloth and used to soothe joints, warm beds, or relieve cramping
• When cooled, it stays dry to the touch and delivers a clean, crisp feel—making it excellent for contrast therapy or puffiness

 

Care, Use, and Safety

• Warm using a professional stone heater, Theratools Warming Tray, or Theratools Mobile Warming Bag (safe range: 115–125°F)
• Always test temperature on your inner forearm before use and confirm comfort with your client
• Clean with warm soapy water followed by an EPA-registered disinfectant (spray or wipe)
• Avoid dropping or sudden temperature changes—soapstone is more fragile than basalt
• Allow to cool fully before storage or reuse
