This Hot Stone Reflexology course is for the qualified Reflexologist and is aimed at offering a skill that can be used within the course of usual treatments or as a stand alone treatment.
The use of warmed - or indeed cold - Basalt stones have been employed by many ancient peoples in thermal body treatments and today have become a popular adjunct to the Massage or the Reflexology treatment room.
Within a Reflexology treatment the application of the stones helps with the circulation, conducting a gentle heat through the skin , particularly helping any congested areas.
There is also the psychological effect of soothing and nurturing and the warmth aiding the release of tensions.
