Hot Stone in Massage Therapy, is a course designed to teach the basics and fundamentals of hot stone therapy and how it should be integrated into your current massage practice. With hot stone very commonly no longer being taught within registered programs, it is important to learn this program with hot stone massage being one of the most common and popular additions to registered massage therapy. Learning some history of the origins of hot stone, benefits, risks, and more theoretical information, we delve deep into the equipment, setup, and most importantly the practical application. With every therapist treating differently it is vital to have extensive hands on practice to find the best ways hot stone massage will benefit yourself and your practice.
