Athena Beauty Spa & Training Centre

Hot Stone Massage Diploma

The ancient healing of the hot stone massage has been used for thousands of years wordwide by healers, the tibetan monks and the American Indians to name a few.It involves the application of water heated warm basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warm. The direct heat relaxes the muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than regular massage. They say one stroke of a stone is equivalent to ten of the hand and many clients that try it never go back to traditional massage.
