This course teaches a safe and effective approach for heated, Himalayan salt stone massage. It will enable the therapist to work comfortably using the stones to perform a therapeutic and revitalizing service. You will learn set-up as well as the care and cleaning of the stones. We will explore the therapeutic use and benefits of using hot and cold temperatures on the body, in addition to any presenting contraindications. Class will also include a full-body approach to delivering the massage with the proper amount of lubricant and place a special emphasis on body mechanics and ergonomics. The purpose of the class is to ensure the student has a full understanding of the use of the stones as a therapeutic tool — ensuring the highest level of core competency a therapist will need to provide a stellar client experience.
