Hot Stone Massage + 1 Clinic Days Training Course

Product Description

Hot Stone Massage Training Course The concept of massage therapy using stones has been used in many different cultures for many years. Tribal Healers & Village wise women used rocks from the river beds & warmed them either in hot coals or hot water.  By placing the hot stones on cloth on the body & arranging them along the energy points of the body, this would help to relax the muscles & reduce pain or discomfort, & therefore support the healing process. The placing of the stones is often followed by a holistic massage which proves to result in a deeper & more intense treatment as the heat penetrates the body & relaxes the muscles & the cold stones stimulate the neural pathways & circulatory system. This 10 lesson hot stone massage course shows the student the history of hot stone massage to the modern day development & use of hot stone massage techniques & associated therapies. The course focuses upon practical massage therapy techniques that can be learned & practised by the student, either as a stand alone therapy in its own right or as part of a practicing holistic therapist’s repertoire of effective techniques. The course shows the student how hot stone  techniques can be incorporated into holistic therapeutic  practice which will be  of great value to practitioners of both the body working therapies & also of pure holistic treatments. Who should take this course? The course is completely stand alone & is aimed at students who wish to obtain competence & experience in a practical hands-on therapy. No previous experience is required as the course covers the appropriate basics, but students of holistic massage will find that this course adds another dimension to their treatments. Practitioners of other therapies will find the course very useful as it adds another popular treatment technique to their existing practise. This course
