Muscle Release Hot Stone COMBO Course

Deep Tissue Meets Relaxation

1 Day ONLINE and 1 Day IN PERSON

Featuring:

  • Basalt Stones for deep tissue techniques and movement release therapy with stones

  • Himalayan Salt & Jade Stones for therapeutic relaxation

  • Adaptable methods that work with any stones you prefer

Course Overview

This course introduces a research-based deep tissue method that’s unlike anything else in the massage therapy field. By combining hot stone therapy, trigger point release, and movement-based techniques, you’ll discover an efficient, evidence-driven way to achieve profound muscle release — with less physical strain on your hands and body.

Hot stones naturally increase circulation by opening blood vessels, delivering oxygen, nutrients, and proteins to the muscles. The result? Faster recovery, reduced adhesions, greater range of motion, and improved parasympathetic regulation.

You’ll learn how to integrate:

  • Basalt Stones for targeted deep tissue release

  • Jade & Himalayan Salt Stones for relaxation and therapeutic benefits

Learning Outcomes

By completing this course, you will:

  • Gain confidence in using stones as an extension of your hands

  • Learn how to reach the correct depth for effective muscle release

  • Understand contraindications and safety considerations

  • Explore the therapeutic value of heat in massage

  • Integrate hot stone work into both deep tissue and relaxation treatments

Course Format

  • Day 1: In-Person Training – Hands-on instruction, practice, and feedback

  • Day 2: Online Learning – Theory, research, and integration strategies

This hybrid format ensures you leave with both the practical skills and the evidence-based knowledge to apply immediately in your practice.
