I’m Pauline Walton, founder of Ruffistone®. I am a pensioner with an active mind and plenty of determination. This is my story of recovery.
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. The Ruffistone Soak approach is easy and affordable.

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