Professional Qualification Hot Stone Therapy Course
A Distance Learning Diploma Course of 9 Lessons
Hot Stone therapy is technically termed as Geothermal therapy, which is the use of heated and chilled stones to affect a chemical release within the human body. Placing the hot stones on a cloth on the body, arranged along the energy points of the body, helps to relax the muscles and reduce pain or discomfort, and therefore support the healing process. When followed by a holistic massage the result is a deeper and more intense treatment.
Our Hot Stone Therapy course takes you from complete beginner right through to becoming a competent professional Hot Stone Massage therapist. We will guide you with step-by-step details of hot stone massage, anatomy and physiology, massage techniques and mediums, the benefits of a hot stone massage and much more. You will also learn everything that you need to know about setting up your practice and running your business professionally.

I wanted you to know that I thought this Hot Stone Therapy course was excellent, the subject materials went into more depth than I expected and gave very clear instruction for the ‘practical section’. A very enjoyable and informative course. Thank you!

Which distance learning study method should you choose?
Self Study: The self-study option is a faster method of study for those who feel they may not need that support. The Self Study team review each part of your course, rather than lesson by lesson, and the team will assess your work and inform you if you are making serious errors. You will not receive feedback on your work, and you may be asked to repeat an answer paper which does not reach our threshold of acceptance.
Tutored: The tutor option is for students who would like feedback on their work and who may require more support in their studies. Our dedicated Tutor Team will review your work lesson by lesson and give you feedback, where required. You can ask questions, and the team can guide you to success by helping you navigate the course material.
