Hot stone therapy-mobile.

I am wondering if hot stone therapy can be done on a mobile base. I have been asked by numerous clients if I do this, but not sure if there is a portable tank for this treatment to be carried out.

Hi there
I offer it as a mobile therapy. It's quite tricky to get the timings right, etc, but here's how I do it.

If I'm out, I set a timer for the heating unit to come on (just one of those you plug into the socket) to heat the stones, then, once they have reached temperature I take the stones out, put a filled hot water bottle into the bottom of a 'keep food cold' bags for picnics, wrap the stones in a towel, put another hot water bottle on top, with another towel. I then empty the rest of the water away, pack the stuff in the car, including the heater unit (and an extension cable in case their plug is a long way from where you are doing the massage and a folding table, to put the unit on).

As soon as I arrive at the client's, I plug the heater in, empty the hot water bottles into the unit, add the stones, ask for a kettle full of water (my unit is huge) then get the rest of my stuff out of the car, do the consultation, and you should find that the temperate is about right.

Lot of clat, but if you charge enough, it's worth the hassle, and it's quite popular with my clients.

Hope this helps, and there may be a simpler way, so feel free to let me know of a more user-friendly manner to do it.

I offer this as mobile and do roughly the same carry my stones in a food cold bag wrap them well in towels to transport them. I like the idea of a hot water bottle in with them, will try that next time.

Good tip

I offer Hot stones as a mobile therapist, if I get the chance I pre heat the stones but sometimes that is just not possible - my stones dont take that long to heat up. They are the first thing I take in, plug them in and have the client boil a kettle and get them going whilst I unpack the rest of my equpment and get set up, by the time I have set up and completed a consultation either short for a regular client or longer for a new client the stones are ready, even from cold

I have my stones and kettle in a large plastic box and take in 2 plastic bowls on the top = that is the only exta I have to take compared to an ordinary visit for massage - I do also have an extention lead with me just in case there is not a plug close enough, that sits in the bowls

thats how I do it, hope it helps
