Description
Learn how to confidently build and expand a hot stone massage practice with practical, creative, and advanced stone therapy techniques.
This online video course begins with the essentials: stone types, shapes, textures, benefits, cautions, heating, placement, and foundational massage techniques. You will then follow a complete step-by-step hot stone massage routine, with clear guidance on where to place each stone and why.
Expand your skills with a cool moonstone facial massage and learn how warm and cool stones can be combined in the same session for relaxation, contrast therapy, and focused treatment.
The course also includes six advanced restorative protocols that teach you how to evaluate the client and select stone placements for specific patterns and dysfunctions.
Additional routines explore creative uses of stones in sports massage, pregnancy and side-lying massage, meridian work, lymphatic and detoxification-focused techniques, and restorative positioning. You will learn approaches for common areas of concern including tennis elbow, knee pain, shoulder restrictions, and joint discomfort.
Designed for massage therapists who want more than a basic stone routine, this course provides a broad range of techniques that can be adapted to many different clients and treatment goals.
