Stone Medicine is a gift to the therapist who suffers from sore thumbs, tired muscles, back strain and physical stress from hours of work as a massage therapist. This modality spares the practitioners body by offering geo-thermal therapy and piezoelectric effect through the stones. While the temperatures offer vasodilatation and vasoconstriction, sound vibrations affect the neurological system to remove stress at a deeper level than can be attained through normal deep tissue massage.
At the competition of Level One the certified practitioner will confidently offer this unique approach to hot and cold stone massage with truly amazing results for themselves and their clientele.
An educated practitioner has
learned to ‘hear’ the song of the Stone Tribe and knows how to
‘follow’ the Stone people as they safely coax negativity and pain from
the body.
