Hot Stone Massage 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.
