Jumozy Presents a Comprehensive 7 CE Hour Full Body Stone Massage Online Continuing Education Course

October 6, 2014 - In Jumozy's new comprehensive Full Body Stone Massage online course (7 CE Hrs), massage therapists can learn how to incorporate stones into their practice. Meade Steadman, LMT and professional educator, guides students through all aspects of this modality. Stones have been used for healing for thousands of years. That tradition continues today: smooth stones are incorporated into massage or placed on the body to provide the benefits of their inherent healing properties, as well as to apply heat or cold.

This course is approved for continuing education by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB), the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), and most US states and Canadian provinces.

This course includes visual, step-by-step video demonstrations of stone massage techniques and of full-body massage routines with both hot and cold stones. Steadman also discusses the history of stone massage; physiological changes and benefits induced by thermo- and cryotherapy; contraindications; selecting, cleaning, and energizing stones; supplies and equipment needed for stone massage; getting started; draping techniques; alternating hot and cold stones in a session; incorporating stones in other modalities; energy work with chakras and Ayurvedic doshas; post-treatment recommendations; and marketing and other professional considerations.

Incorporating stones as massage tools is also easier on the therapist. Stones minimize injury to a massage therapist's hands, wrists, and elbows, and make the work less exhausting. Stone massage is also good for the bottom line and a way to personalize a massage and to differentiate a therapist's offerings.

The online course is broken down into small, manageable units, with quizzes to test and reinforce knowledge. Video footage pulled from the award-winning Art & Practice of Stone Massage (produced by Aesthetic VideoSource) breaks up text with discussions and demonstrations of the procedure. A glossary with 123 terms relevant to stone massage is included. At the end of the course, upon satisfactory assessment scores, students can immediately download and print a certificate of achievement.

Student feedback has been positive, speaking to the quality of information, presentation, organization, and overall user friendliness:

"I found your course to be very simple in terms of use and the terminology was very good. I enjoyed the pacing of the course along with the video. I'd take more CEU's with you this way. Thank you." Adrienne H.

"The course was excellent…" Beverly M.

"Very good, easy to use format, good quality videos." Fiona B.

"I really enjoyed the course. Hot Stone is a therapy I want to include in my treatments." John B.

"I'm very pleased with the course. I was totally unaware of "toe-cozies" and using small stones for chakras and for facial work. That I am definitely interested in and would most likely include in my other modalities. Thanks guys! Another great addition to my skills." Olivia H.
