Hot Stone Therapy is one of the fastest growing treatments in the UK. Not only can the therapist benefit from using the stones in place of their hands, easing pressure on thumbs and wrists, but the client can enjoy a remarkable experience where the treatment is said to be particularly effective. This course takes you through every stage of the process. It includes work on the chakras for energy balancing, and details the complete massage process, along with the benefits of geothermotherapy (the use of hot and cold in massage).
