Sacro Wedgy

The Sacro Wedgy was originally designed with self-care in mind to help therapists relax at the end of the day. The product is designed to isolate, cradle, and elevate the sacrum, isolating both ends of the spine and allowing gravity to do most of the work. Because the female sacrum is shorter and wider than the male sacrum, the Sacro Wedgy comes in distinct male and female versions. The Sacro Wedgy can be used with a variety of different stretches and can help relieve sciatica, low back/hip pain, and poor posture.

The CoreStones OmniStone is a Gua Sha tool that can be held and used in five different ways to help address various needs during a massage session. The five surfaces include a fine edge, a teardrop edge, a top rounded edge, a rounded corner, and a flat surface. The stimulating fine edge can be used for Gua Sha, cross-fiber friction, or superficial myofascial scraping. The calming teardrop edge can be used for pin and stretch or anything requiring a smoother stroke. The top rounded edge can be used around bony prominences and for diffused pressure on the face and body. The rounded corner gives a specific point of pressure. The flat surface on the front and back can be used for compression and to warm or cool the muscle tissue. The OmniStone is available in both a left angle and right angle version.
