About This Course

Accredited by IPHM this is a practical, hands-on CPD course is aimed at fully qualified and insured massage or beauty therapists, who wish to diversify their techniques by including elements of hot and cold salt stone therapy and promote injury prevention as well as increase profitability.

Too many massage therapists get stuck in a rut. Many get bored with the same routine or struggle to stand out from the crowd. Too few attend additional training, or complete cpd to develop their skillset. Are you one of them? You can change that today and create a toolbox full of success tools. Success tools not just for yourself but also for your clients. Afterall we don’t take our car to a mechanic and expect them to fix it with just one spanner do we?

Salt Stone Therapy Massage incorporates salt stones, containing 84 essential minerals, and trace compounds into a traditional massage routine.

When heated the salt stones produce a thermal effect, which loosens restrictive fascia, enabling deeper work to be performed on tense, tight muscles, and joints. Heated salt stones also assist in soothing inflamed muscles, and joints, as well as leaving the skin feeling refreshed, and glowing.

Our comprehensive manual contains theoretical information about salt stone therapy, how it works, its benefits for health and well-being, focusing mostly on the practicalities of this natural form of therapy.

We will demonstrate salt stone therapy techniques on the body and face that you will be able to try on yourself and each other, as well as health and safety information, cautions and contraindications.

Theory elements are covered online in your own home, in your own time and at your own pace via self study using our Virtual Learning Environment. This theory elements are perfectly suited to online delivery therefore they can be delivered and learning assessed online. You will be fully supported by your course tutor who’s role it is to help and guide you through the process from beginning to end. Both your tutor and assessor will ensure that you not only reach your goals but maintain industry and awarding body standards.

Practical elements are brought to life in a treatment room environment which enhances the learning experience. A Complusory Interactive Treatment room session will be accessed by attending a practical training day at our centre.
