I’m Pauline Walton, founder of Ruffistone™. I am a pensioner with an active mind and plenty of determination. This is my personal story. Although I believe the science is plausible and my recovery has been remarkable, Ruffistone is merely a single case history with no medical authority.
My musculoskeletal journey of discovery began in early lockdown, just after handing in my thesis. I was in too much pain to think or write any more and I knew I needed to heal.
For the next 6 years I explored every approach for relief: hands-on therapies, endless websites, and mountains of academic research. Then I found something different. That changed everything.
Ruffistones are typically Gua Sha tools which have highly specific scientific properties and include Terahertz stone, jade and Bian (Sibin) stone. Ruffistone Flowsense® therapy is comforting, easy and affordable.

I invite you to try it for yourself. Speak to a medical professional if you have doubts.
Ruffistone Flowsense®
What are Ruffistones?
Typically Ruffistones are Gua Sha tools like synthetic Terahertz, natural jade or ancient Bian stone. Ruffistones feel neutral or comforting when held and grip slightly when placed on the skin.
How do Ruffistones work?
The dominant sensation from a static Ruffistone is its grip which is communicated as a gentle twist without heat or force through the tissue to Ruffini corpuscles. Ruffini nerve endings immediately alert the nervous system of imminent tissue change and also stimulate a slower mechanical response.
How do Ruffini nerve endings affect tissues?
Ruffini nerve endings respond to tiny twisting motions and are located around nails, joints and ligaments. Movement around the nerve endings encourages fluid flow and stiff tissues relax.

Advancing the Research
I am actively seeking research partners and professional collaborators to explore, validate and advance the Ruffistone Flowsense® project.
