    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

     

    Advanced stone massage techniques using hot and cool stones in five routines.

    • Sports massage - routine shows how to use stones in a pre-event sports massage as well as tennis elbow, knee pain and shoulder injuries
    • Pregnancy massage - routine uses warm stones in a side posture massage
    • Meridian - routine provides a foundation layout for the legs in side posture, and traces 3 meridians in the legs
    • Detoxification - routine shows a light-touch stone massage focusing on the lymphatic system and increasing venous return
    • Restorative - routine shows three restorative postures and how to use hot stones to increase relaxation.

    "You can always incorporate thermal therapy and the tools of healing stone massage into your trigger point therapy, myofascial mobilization, and other deep tissue massage modalities. With the benefit of greater release in a shorter time period, with far less effort on your part. In this way, with appropriately shaped stones, you may save your own hands from wear and tear.  Just be careful that in your desire to work deeply with the stones that you are not gripping the stone too tightly, nor are you applying deep pointed pressure directly onto bone." - Carollanne Crichton

    Carollanne Crichton

    Massage therapist Carollanne Crichton, has been performing and teaching stone massage work for over ten years. She has been a yoga teacher since 1989 and she is the founding director of The Institute of the Healing Arts in Rhode Island.

    In 1978, Carol was thrown from a horse injuring her spinal nerves and she was told she might never walk again. Her unwillingness to acccept this prognosis guided her to a “yoga doctor” who introduced her to what is now known as Ayurveda. Utilizing dietary remedies, herbal medicine, yoga and breathing exercises, oil massage therapies and spiritual meditation practices to mobilize her innate healing forces, Carol was able to find relief from pain and suffering.

    In awe at her own recovery from her spinal injury, during which time other medical difficulties were spontaneously resolved as well, she began professional yoga teacher training and became licensed as a massage therapist, and she has maintained full-time practices for 20 years now. Since that profound turnaround, Carol has dedicated her life to "sharing all that I am given in the form of knowledge, experience and touch with all who seek peace and health in their own lives."

    "I do find that when I am fully present to my client and to whatever is presenting in the session, I am able to respond with full capacity and am comfortable with the body in totality. I say "fully present" as a prerequisite to this sense of total comfort because, in contrast, if I am trying too hard to be something I am not such as a heroic healer, or, if I am involved with some other preoccupation in my own mind, then I am not meeting my client unconditionally. Massage therapy, for me as a practitioner is as much a meditation and a centering practice as it is for my clients!" - Carollanne Crichton

HEALTH BENEFITS

Hot Stone Therapy is an age-old healing treatment. Hot basalt stones penetrate muscles and balance the nervous system like no other treatments. The heat helps increase circulation and boost the immune system - even more than traditional Swedish massage. Some practitioners also believe that it operates at a deeper level than deep tissue because it affects the autonomic nervous system , which can help to reduce anxiety.
