What Is Rollerssage?
Right now it's only available at a few spas in the country, including the one where it was developed -- Agave, The Arizona Spa at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale -- but it is going to be introduced to more Westin spas around the country.
Invented by an Agave massage therapist named Matthew Murdock, Rollerssage uses heated, perfectly round semi-precious stones that fit into a patented massage tool that allows the stones to roll smoothly over your body.
I had a Rollerssage the other day from the inventor himself. You start by choosing up to two of the stones that you want the therapist to work with --- hematite, rose quartz, tiger eye or sodalite. Each type of stone has metaphysical properties - hematite is good for grounding, tiger eye for optimism, etc. -- and you choose based on the areas where you think you could use some support.
Sometimes the therapist actually holds small egg-shaped crystal stones in his hands while he works. And the polished stones also have a smooth feeling that is different from the basalt stones -- less drag on the skin.
So keep an eye on Westin spas, and when Rollerssage shows up on the menu, try it!

Anita, I am so happy to have found your comment. I read the article online on Sunday and intended to print it out…the article in the USA Today, Friday, April 27, 2007. Where can I get a copy of the article? I was very interested in them. Thank you so much for your help. Theresa
I have been doing massage with stones for several years… never try to do it with the kinkd of stones you mentioned at the article… I found out that my clients enjoyed much more the experiencing (hot stones) using it as a tool to massage the areas, then just leaving them at certain areas of the body…
