Yes, you'll learn the basics here, BUT, you'll also learn to administer advanced techniques to kick your stone treatment into high gear. We're more therapy than spa style in this course, helping you deliver the remedial massage clients are looking for.

Direct your attention to trigger points, and restricted fascial, superficial and deep muscle layers with this Remedial Stone Massage course.

Designed to be integrated into your current routine, the groundwork will be laid to better enhance client output and reduce a therapist’s physical strain during sessions. Students will learn the use of both thermal and cryotherapy temperatures, work with different massage stones, and identify Basalt, Marble and Jade stones and the benefits of each set.

• A full stone massage history 
• Reviewing hydrotherapy and thermotherapy properties and their benefits 
• A general full-body hot stone routine using basalt or jade stone. 
• Safe stone massage application
• How to communicate with clients during stone massage sessions 
• Stone massage body mechanics

Students are also responsible for obtaining client models to work on during the 2 day course.
