Hot Stone Massage - It’s no secret that Hot Stone Massage has become very popular among massage clients throughout the world, due to the many health and wellness benefits that this powerful treatment can provide.

However, what about the Hot Stone Massage practitioner? Do they recieve any benefits in offering this ancient modality to their clients?

Absolutely! In fact, here are 3 powerful benefits that the Hot Stone Massage practitioner enjoys…

1) Greater Leverage

Firstly the permeating heat from the stones acts as a powerful muscle relaxant as layers of stress and tension are literally melted away. This ‘tension-melting’, deeply relaxing heat, along with the fact that the stones are used as massaging ‘tools’, provides the Hot Stone Massage practitioner with massive leverage.

In fact, it is possible to perform a much deeper, more potent massage treatment using hot stones than you could ever do with just your hands and fingers.

This fact will no doubt appeal to those Massage Therapists whose hands and fingers are already tired and stressed.

2) Increased Income
‘
Without a doubt Hot Stone Massage is considered a ‘premium’ massage treatment and clients are prepared to pay a premium price, around 30-40% more actually. This means that you can potentially earn more money for your time.

If you are not working for yourself but rather for a Spa, clinic or salon, having Hot Stone Massage under your belt will put you in a strong position to negotiate a higher rate for your services.

Afterall, if you’re adding value to a business by offering a premium treatment, it’s only fair (and right) that you as the Hot Stone Massage practitioner be paid a premium price for your time, energy and your ‘expertise’.

3) More Attractive

Now I’m not saying that by practicing Hot Stone Massage you’ll become more attractive in the physical sense, but rather in the ‘marketing’ sense.

Hot Stone Massage is a very popular treatment and this is not going to change any time soon. However, only a fraction of all Massage Therapists actually offer this treatment.

So just by having Hot Stone Massage on your treatment menu and more importantly promoting it in your marketing, you will more easily stand out from the ‘massaging crowd’ and potentially attract new clients more easily.

When you consider just these 3 core benefits (there are several more), Hot Stone Massage is a valuable skill for all Massage Therapists to have. However, just as Hot Stone Massage treatments vary greatly from practitioner to practitioner, Hot Stone Massage training courses vary greatly from school to school.

If you want to learn a thorough, complete and totally amazing Hot Stone Massage treatment that has actually ‘proven’ to be very effective and very popular in Australia’s top Spas, then I invite you to take a closer look at our Pohaku Hawaiian Stone Therapy course.
