VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Stone Therapy Massage (QCF)

This therapy is a wonderful enhancement to traditional massage.  Smooth, warmed volcanic basalt stones are applied and massaged onto the body to alleviate stress and strain on the mind, body and spirit.   The gentle heat from the stones are penetrated into muscles and tissues producing an intense experience in relaxation.  Massaging with Thermal Stones will also help you as a therapist by taking the stress out of your wrists and hands. Hot Stone Therapy benefits many physical and emotional conditions and promotes the ultimate state of well-being.
