Welche Inhalte und Fertigkeiten vermittelt ein Lehrgang in der Hot Stone Massage?

The content covered in a hot stone massage training course depends on the school and the corresponding training program, among other things. This is because the school decides independently what content is taught and what the focus is.

As a rule, the following topics are covered in such training:

• Basics (this includes, among other things: Origin and history of hot stone massage, philosophy, indications and contraindications of the method)
• Material & equipment knowledge (e.g. different types of stone: basalt stones (volcanic), marble (cold), jade etc., sizes and shapes of stones, handling the stone warmer / heater, oils and lotions for use)
• Massage procedure and techniques (including preparation of room, client and material)
• Treatment structure (e.g. dealing with sensitive zones (e.g. spine, joints), concluding and post-treatment rest phase)
• Hygiene, ethics & professional practice (e.g. skin compatibility, allergies, choice of oil, cleaning and disinfection of stones & equipment, professional appearance, conducting conversations, maintaining boundaries)
• Occupational safety
