Hot Stone Massage DVD

Learn the basics of hot stone massage and how to create a relaxing, gentle and effective treatment for your client.  This video, produced by the Institute for Massage and Spa Therapy Education (IMSTE), in conjunction with the Institute for Therapeutic Massage (ITM) is designed to show the benefits and contraindications of using hot stones while providing 2 full-body and facial demonstrations (by different therapists) to help you integrate one of the most requested spa services into your massage therapy routine.

Body workers will also be shown the equipment needed, how to set up a workspace, the techniques to use, and how to use the stones safely and effectively.  It is recognized that all therapists have their own style, and this video provides the tools and flexibility to create your own routine.

By combining the warm stones with a deep flowing massage, the result is an extremely soothing massage for your client while saving the wear and tear on the therapists hands. The heat from the stones allows for the release of muscle tissue at a greater intensity than with some other forms of massage.
