Hot and Cold Stone Massage Therapy

via Niel Asher Education

Overview

Hot & Cold Stone Massage Therapy (4 CE Hours)

Hot and cold stone massage is often associated with relaxation treatments — but when applied with the right understanding, it becomes a powerful clinical tool.

This course is designed to help you move beyond routine and develop a safe, effective, and clinically grounded approach to hot and cold stone therapy.

At the heart of the course is a practical treatment demonstration, supported by a companion course that explains the physiology, safety considerations, and clinical reasoning behind what you’re doing.

You’ll learn how heat and cold influence circulation, muscle tone, and nervous system response, and how to apply stones in a way that supports real treatment outcomes — not just relaxation.
