Hot Stone Massage

About the Hot Stone Massage Certificate

Hot stone massage is a specialty massage that uses smooth, heated stones placed on the body, or as massaging tools. Hot stone therapy is one of the most popular stress-relief treatments. Known to ease muscle tension, improve circulation, promote all-round wellbeing, this type of massage is even thought to relieve multiple sclerosis or fibromyalgia. The hot stone massage course covers everything you need to know about massage, history, effects and different types of stone therapies. It also includes notions of physiology, musculoskeletal affections, recommended course of treatment and aftercare.

The course has an indicative 160 hours of study, but you can take as little or as long over it. There are no deadlines and no time pressures. Take your time, pause it, or study it faster than the average time.

Who should study this course?

Experienced massage therapists, as well as complete beginners are welcomed to embark on this learning journey to discover the history of hot stones, their fascinating effect on the human body and new techniques and different types of treatments. Some hospitals encourage nurses to study alternative therapies to offer relief to oncology patients, for example.

To enrol straight away on the hot stone massage certification, there is no need for prior qualifications, or experience. Interest and motivation, and the means to access our home study materials, are all it takes to successfully complete this course.

What happens after the course?

Successful achievement of the certification will lead to a ground knowledge in alternative therapy like massage. You can study further for other alternative medicine practices or specialise in massage therapies.

A course in massage therapy can become a self-employment venture, if you wish to take a turn in your professional life. The syllabus contains not only massage concepts, but also lessons in business, marketing, and finance necessary to the set-up of a business. Self-employed or not, you can find work within a private clinic, a beauty salon, a spa or by visiting clients’ house. Some of the positions you can find:

  • Hot stone massage therapist
  • Beauty therapist

The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject.

The course itself has been designed Stonebridge Associated Colleges to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. The Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.

The Quality Licence Scheme is part of the Skills and Education Group, a charitable organisation that unites education and skills-orientated organisations that share similar values and objectives. With more than 100 years of collective experience, the Skills and Education Group’s strategic partnerships create opportunities to inform, influence and represent the wider education and skills sector.

Through our awarding organisations we have developed a reputation for providing high-quality qualifications and assessments for the education and skills sector. We are committed to helping employers, organisations and learners cultivate the relevant skills for learning, skills for employment, and skills for life.

Our knowledge and experience of working within the awarding sector enables us to work with training providers, through the Quality Licence Scheme, to help them develop high-quality courses and/or training programmes for the non-regulated market.
