Hot Stone Massage Therapy dates back over 2000 years, but still Hot Stone Massage Therapy is one of the fastest growing treatments in the UK, producing extraordinary results compared to traditional massage.

The Hot Stone Massage Therapy course is designed for those already using massage who want to introduce the added benefits of Hot Stone Massage Therapy to their clients. It has also been identified that the therapist benefits from using the stones in place of their hands, easing pressure on thumbs and wrists.

Students will undertake a number of Hot Stone Massage full body treatments using model(s) which can either be supplied by the Academy or the student. It is recommended that students supply their own models, where possible, as this may be a source of future clients for them. Students, when booking should indicate whether they can or cannot supply models, so that the Academy can, where necessary, supply all or some of the models required.
