Hot and Cold Stone Massage Therapy (4 hrs) is organized by Niel Asher Education.
Description:
Hot and cold stone massage is often associated with relaxation treatments but when applied with the right understanding, it becomes a powerful clinical tool.
Hot & Cold Stone Massage Therapy is designed to help therapists move beyond routine spa-style application and develop a safe, effective, and clinically grounded approach to stone therapy.
At the heart of the course is a practical treatment demonstration, supported by companion learning that explains the physiology, safety considerations, and clinical reasoning behind the use of heat and cold in treatment.
Course Overview
Across this 4-hour CE/CPD course, participants will explore how heat and cold influence circulation, muscle tone, tissue response, and nervous system activity.
The course teaches safe temperature control, burn prevention principles, appropriate clinical decision-making, and practical treatment integration for massage and manual therapy settings.
Rather than treating stones as a purely relaxation-based add-on, this course helps practitioners understand when stone therapy may be appropriate, when it should be avoided, and how it may be used to support real treatment outcomes.
Supported by a full treatment video demonstration, companion course, downloadable workbook, lesson quizzes, CE exam, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a practical and safety-focused pathway for integrating hot and cold stone therapy into professional practice.
