Course: Advanced Deep Tissue Techniques with Cold Stones - 1 Day Workshop
Details: Hot stones are beneficial in helping to relax tight muscles and loosen fascia. They are particularly effective for treating chronic conditions and older injuries. The use of cold stones helps reduce swelling, decrease inflammation and pain. They are effective in treating acute injuries which makes their use of great assistance to sports and sports injury therapists. They are extremely beneficial in breaking down adhesions as the cold stone penetrates deep into the tissue.
This workshop focuses primarily on Deep tissue work with cold stones. It incorporates the use of hot stones to assist the warming of the muscles in order to help relax them and prepare them for deeper work. This is specifically designed with deep tissue and sports therapists in mind, but is beneficial for any qualified hot stone therapist wishing to further develop and advance their skills.
This workshop will cover the following:
* Contra-indications of hot & cold stones
* Benefits & effects of Thermotherapy
* Benefits & effects of Cryotherapy
* Care and maintenance of the stones and equipment
* Safe use of Hot and Cold stones
* Advanced practical techniques
* Contra-actions of hot & cold stones
We have invested in the the very latest equipment for students to use and incorporate into their treatments whilst attending our centre.
The basalt and marble stones we use are of the highest quality and have been specially sourced and supplied to us by La Stone Therapy UK. Our stone heater is of top quality and has a built in digitally operated thermostat which can be controlled to ensure that the temperature of the stones is regulated at a constant and safe temperature. We also have a matching aluminium cooling unit which helps keep the marble stones colder for more efficient deeper tissue work.
Prerequisites: You must be a qualified hot stone therapist and have a good understanding of anatomy and physiology.
