- This invention relates to massage devices, and more specifically, to a self heating massage stone.
- Massage therapy may involve the manual manipulation of soft body tissues to enhance the general health and well-being of a patient or a user. The manual manipulation may involve applying a pressure, a tension, a vibration to the soft body tissues with the help of various aids such as massage stones, massage lotions, essential oils, and the like.
- Massage stones are used in stone massage therapy by heating the massage stones before applying to the soft body tissues. Massage stones are usually made of basalt, which is rich in iron and has the ability to retain heat.
- Conventionally, massage stones are immersed in water that is then heated in an electric heating device until the massage stones attain a certain temperature range. After heating the hot massage stones are removed and applied to the soft body tissues. The therapist also massages the client's soft tissues with the warm stones, which may relieve tension, loosen adhesions, increase circulation, etc.
- However, there are several issues with massage stones. First, the therapist conducting the stone massage therapy has to ensure that the massage stones are a suitable temperature for use during therapy. Many times the stones are too hot, or not hot enough. Second, current massage stones tend to lose heat attained during the massage. Thus, the therapist/client contact may be interrupted every time the therapist must stop to get new heated stones because the stones in use have lost their heat.
- Therefore, it would be desirable to provide a device and method that overcomes the above problems.

The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
- Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention generally provides a self-heating massage stone. Presently, stones used in a hot stone massage do not stay hot long enough. Embodiments of the present invention may allow one to give a stone massage for an entire treatment without having to switch out new stones.
- As depicted in the Figures, an embodiment of a
massage stone 10 is shown. In accordance with one embodiment, themassage stone 10 may be formed out of ceramic. A ceramic material may be used as certain types of ceramics have the ability to readily dissipate heat. Further, the coloration and texture is intrinsic to the ceramic materials and so painting or other kinds of surface protection is not necessary in recurring maintenance. - In accordance with one embodiment, the
massage stone 10 may be formed as a twopiece piece piece semi-hollow interior 12. - In accordance with one embodiment, the
massage stone 10 may be formed by using a two piece mold in the shape of a massage stone and a ceramic slip, or porcelain, or stoneware slip is poured in the mold. The mold may be formed by obtaining a stone and making a plaster mold of the stone using a double sided mold. - Once set or dried, the bisque stone shapes may be taken out of the mold and set to dry. Once dried the bisque stone shapes may go into a kiln where the bisque stone shapes may be low fired or bisque fired. The bisque stone shapes may then be taken out and cooled, then glazed with a black shiny glaze. The bisque stone shapes may then be fired again in the kiln forming the two
pieces massage stone 10. - Once the two
pieces connectors 14 may be placed around aninterior rim 16 of each of the twopieces connectors 14 may be used to secure the twopieces massage stone 10 as a single unit which may resemble a basalt stone. - In accordance with one embodiment, a plurality of
magnets 14A may be placed in the interior rim of each of the twopieces magnets 14A may be positioned so thatcorresponding magnets 14A may be aligned on each of the twopieces pieces magnets 14A should be of opposite polarity so that the twopieces massage stone 10 may be held together bymagnets 14A, other methods may be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Alternative methods may be used such as using keys 14B that may be molded into the twopieces - In an embodiment, a
heating element 16 may be positioned in the interior of one of the twopieces heating element 16 may be used to warm the hollowed outceramic massage stone 10 and keeps it warm. Theheating element 16 may transmit heat to the surface of thepiece heating element 16 is positioned. Theheating element 16 may have an insulatedcover 18. Theinsulated cover 18 may prevent heat from dissipating outward toward theother piece heating element 16 is not positioned. - The
heating element 16 may be a powered by arechargeable battery 20. Therechargeable battery 20 may be a lithium ion battery or the like. - The
heating element 16 may be adjustable to control the temperature of themassage stone 10. Further, theheating element 16 may keep themassage stone 10 continuously warm as therechargeable battery 20 is able to power the heating element and keep the ceramic stone warm for the entire treatment. In contrast, conventional stones only stay hot for five minutes and then the therapist has to leave the clients body and get new stones. A process that has to constantly be repeated throughout the treatment. - To use an embodiment, activate the
heating element 16. This may be done by turning on aswitch 22 to the heating element. Theswitch 22 may be located external on themassage stone 10. Alternatively, one may have to open the twohalves massage stone 10 and turn on aswitch 22 located on/near theheating element 16. Once activated, oil may be placed on themassage stone 10 and give a massage with them to a person. People can put them in their pockets as hand warmers as well. - Other embodiments may have different shapes for the
massage stone 10, or different sources of heat on the inside. - It should be understood, of course, that the foregoing relates to exemplary embodiments of the invention and that modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
