Diploma Course The course is open to both practicing holistic therapists and practitioners and anyone else who has an interest to learn this skill. No previous knowledge is required to study on this course.
The concept of massage therapy using stones has been practiced in different cultures for many years. Tribal Healers and Village wise women used rocks from the riverbeds and warmed them either in hot coals or hot water. By then placing the hot stones on cloth on the body and arranging them along the energy points of the body, this would help to relax the muscles and reduce pain or discomfort, and therefore support the healing process. Hot Stone therapy is technically termed as Geothermotherapy that is the use of heated stones and chilled stones to affect a chemical release within the human body. The placing of the stones is often followed by a holistic massage, which results in a deeper and more intense treatment. This in-depth course will lead you step-by-step through the treatment sequence and teach you everything you need to know in order to become a successful Hot Stone Massage therapist.
Once you have completed this course you will be completely equipped to practise this therapy.
