HOT STONE MASSAGE
£179.00
Our Hot Stone Massage course will teach you how to perform a massage treatment with the use of warm basalt stones on the body. River stones are usually preferred due to their smooth texture. The history of hot stone massage can be traced to Native Americans, Hawaiians, and the Chinese who used heated stones as a healing tool. Hot stone massage was used for divination, healing, warmth, and protection. The Japanese used warm stones to help them digest their food and they also used the stones in different forms of Asian massage.
The course will guide you through the Hot Stone Massage process with a professional level of service. It is an ideal course for those who would like to work within the beauty industry to provide treatments for personal or professional interest. All courses are fully accredited by IPHM, and insurance can be obtained to work from home or mobile.

BENEFITS OF A HOT STONE MASSAGE
Hot stone massage techniques alternate the use of hot and cold stones in the belief that this helps soothe aches and pains (the concept is somewhat like the hot and cold rooms used by Romans). The underlying principle behind hot stone massage is that the use of heat and cold helps stimulate the lymphatic system, boost blood circulation, and drain away metabolic wastes.
