This hot stone massage course takes you from the basic use of stones and hot stone application techniques to more advanced uses for pain relief and chronic pain reversal. You will learn the proper stones to use as well as the appropriate temperature for application. This course offers more than basic hot stone work-we go into detail about the use of hot stones in a relaxation massage, as well as applications for chronic pain areas. Later in the course, you will learn the use of hot stones in other techniques like reflexology and meridian work. Also we will show how to work with stone (body) gloves to help loosen up tight areas. We do a cold stone demonstration/practice to show the effects of cold stone application on pain areas and injury sites. This course includes lecture, discussion, Q& A, demonstration, and supervised student practice. By the end of the weekend, you will be able to: give a full hot stone massage; incorporate stone work into your current practice; give hot stone specific work on chronic points; use cold stones; and use terry cloth stone gloves. Necessary supplies for course: approved set of 50 stones and roaster (both are available for purchase prior to the workshop, or we can suggest sources), massage oil (not lotion/cream), four sets of twin-size sheets (including face cradle covers), a full-sized body towel, a pillow or bolster, and a heavier blanket for warmth. We provide all other equipment and supplies. FREE Professional Ethics Course: Friday, 9AM-Noon Workshop Hours: Friday, 1-6PM and Saturday/Sunday, 9AM-6PM
