Patricia DelMercado, 1 to 2 hours, approximately. It will depend on size of stones, amount of stones, and whether you have them heat in water. You will have to experiment with your own set up.
150 degrees way too hot, should be closer to the 120 degree level. You run a tremendous risk of burning someone. Good rule of thumb, if you can't hold the stone in your hand, don't put it on someone else's skin.
150 degrees is what you set the crock at dummy, there is no water in the crock so it's just a giant warming bowl. It will never reach 150 because there's no liquid in the bowl to transfer the heat through.
MrWolfSnack Stop calling people dummies over a massage tutorial video, you nut. Lol. Lighten up? Be nicer? 🤗 This isnt politics or something life threatening.
Name calling even while joking or being well-intended can be taken poorly, but I agree 150 is too hot and 120 is more like it. I'd never put rocks into a dry heater ever. Use water
Of course, you can but I'd recommend using the smoothest you can find or river rocks that are self-tumbled since you put these against the skin. Basalt is used because it is smooth and contains iron ore which retains heat better than rocks without it. Heated rocks are buried with wrapped foods to make amazing ovens so it stands to reason they'd also be a great way to heat and soothe our aching tired muscles.
@@Dav4N I was about to say. My instructor told me to heat them up a couple times and see if they don't break. If they don't.. They are good to use if so... They are bad. But yeah, I have no idea. Don't have time to do it so i just buy my rocks.
Sandra Wosk I’ve been a LMT for 8 years and whether if it’s a crock pot or a professional hot stone warmer it needs to be in water. I’ve seen LMT’s put a dry towel in it and yes it will heat up stones a bit but it will burn the towel and ruin the crock pot or stone warmer in the process overtime. Hope it helps
I think I'd heat them to 150 only if the patient is about to come 30min after I finished, that is, I think that the comments make sense that it's too hot, but only if you plan using them right away.
Yeah, 150° is WAY too hot. If you heat to that temp then "let them cool" you then have no accurate idea what temp they are at when you go to apply them! See ABMP guidelines & articles, esp with Gart or Roth for better info. Also putting hot stones on someone's naked back is not a real good idea, it's just BS glamour promo images rather than good safe therapy. Use a towel!
AMTA also advises always using a fabric barrier between client's bare skin & a hot stone which is not in your hand & constantly moving across new tissue areas.
The towel will ruin the effectiveness of the heat from the stone. When you are an experienced massagist you will know by feel what is the perfect temperature. I love you armchair morons that sit at home and read all your stories on the Internet and think you know more than a professional that has been in the business longer than you've been alive.
MrWolfSnack Lol I've been in this business as a licensed professional therapist for over 12 years now. My hands are so changed from handling hot stones, they feel quite comfortable to me even when they are hot enough to burn my client and cause client to startle, wince & complain! Before you start throwing out nasty, snotty insults & attitudes, I suggest you FIRST try using good communication & ask for clarity. Bc what I meant was to first use a towel (or pillowcase or whatever, ideally folded over the stones to hold in the heat) so client can initially experience the heat, decide if they like it, give feedback to therapist, and then as stones cool slightly on towel on client's back the fabric barrier can then be removed gracefully & stones left on the skin. We can learn our clients & know what they want over a session or two, but slapping hot stones on the naked back of a client you don't yet know is risky. And it's definitely directly against the recommendations of ABMP's (and AMTA's?) excellent, experienced experts. I suspect YOU may be the one here who is inexperienced professionally & being an armchair coach...? And in case your snotty, negative attitude is blocking you from perceiving life in a clearer manner, I will inform you of the obvious fact & "newsflash" that not all people's skin feels heat in the same way or degree. The same person may even feel heat differently from one massage session to the next! Lol What feels "right" to your hands, or what looks right on the thermometer, may or may not feel exactly as you anticipate for the client. Also, thermometers & thermostats are very often (usually in my experience) not entirely accurate. Unless your equipment is quite expensive, these cheaper devices are often off by as much as ten degrees. These heating devices lack the very needed actual temperature dial, usually only offering ambiguous settings of "low" or "high" (occasionally I find one which even has "medium"). Also crock pots & other devices sold for cooking food are NOT created to be used for hot stones. We use them to save money, but it increases the risk that our stones may be too hot. Furthermore, you should imo wise up and stop thinking ignorant silliness such as the idea that doing something for a long time automatically means a person is "right" about every aspect of it. That's very foolish imo. (And where did you get the word "massagist" from? Seems like a cool made-up word, but who calls us that lol? 😂 Is that the proper professional word for us in a language I am not familiar with? 😉

How long does it take to get the stones to 150 degrees in the crock pot? High or low setting? Thanks for the excellent tutorial.

MrWolfSnack srsly name calling “ dummy” that’s just rude and unnecessary. Your reply was good enough without the insult
Do you put water in the crock pot or just the stones? Low heat or high heat? How long? This information is bizarre and lacking.
What oil you use
Thank u dear!
Can i use rocks from my driveway??? Rocks are so expensive
Aavka Seppiko that's what i do and it works great! as long as you clean them very well before
Of course, you can but I'd recommend using the smoothest you can find or river rocks that are self-tumbled since you put these against the skin.

Перкеле Vittupää 😂👌🏻
I heard that rocks could explode being heated if they aren't the right kind. Not sure how true that is though.
@@Dav4N I was about to say. My instructor told me to heat them up a couple times and see if they don't break. If they don't.. They are good to use if so... They are bad. But yeah, I have no idea. Don't have time to do it so i just buy my rocks.
ok.. she says dry in the crock pot. others say in water.. which is it?

Personally I'd never use a towel for this either and would instead put in a silicone mat.
She even says in the video "you and to get your stones 120 to 150 degrees". Jesus. Lighten up. And rewatch the video
What?! I can't grill them on the George Foreman?!
NICE
130 for warm stones 145 for hot stones

Sentuhan Amanda Rose Thank you! ☺🌹
When your smokeing out for the first time do you have Walter in it
We are a massage stone factory in China
Cant you just microwave them? Seems like too much trouble, this crockpot idea.
Pamela Alsop horrible idea! Very bad burning
The subtitles for this video are horrible haha.
