Hot Stone Massage Course
Hot Stone Massage Course
This therapy has become one of the most popular treatments over the last ten years. Working in harmony with massage, this technique uses warm stones, placed on the client's body and in the therapists’ hands.
The heat gently penetrates the skin and muscles, helping the client to relax and de-stress in half the time. Essential oils can also be used, and other techniques like lymphatic drainage or reflexology can also benefit from thermal stone massage.
Hot Stone Massage is used to help treat medical problems and ease tension in the mind and works with the body making it a holistic whole body treatment. Using stones, the therapist can penetrate the muscle fibres at a deeper level than manual massage alone allowing it to be more effective for your client.
