Using the stone as a tool, the massage therapist is able to enhance their massage strokes for superficial or deep tissue work.
This workshop will explore what the best stones are for hot and cold stone treatment, safety considerations, and techniques used with stones in a massage routine for parts of the body and face. Participants will get a chance to practice with hot and cold stones so that they may safely and easily incorporate it into their massage routine.
