Stone Energy Massage Therapy Course
Robert Brown
Stone Energy Massage Therapy dates back to over 3000 years ago. It is also known as Hot Rock
Massage Therapy and was used in ancient India and China, and more recently to the North American Indians living in the southwest
states.
Stone Energy Massage Therapy combines the benefits of hydrotherapy and thermotherapy – (the use of heat applications)
with the strokes of massage using Stones to create a deep, relaxing and healing treatment. The heat of the massage stones
warms the skin, which allows for the absorption of moisturizing and therapeutic oils, while simultaneously preparing the musculature
of the body so the massage therapist can work into the deeper muscle layers.
Benefits of thermotherapy include:
increased local circulation, improved blood flow to surrounding tissues, and greater ability to transport toxins and waste
products from the area. An ancillary benefit is that the massage stones provide a wonderful tool that creates
a sense of depth in the massage without the extra wear and tear on the massage therapist’s hands.
The stone energy massage training course is run over 2 days 10am to 4pm, once
you have completed the subject you will receive a nationally recgonised statement of attainment that can also be used within
a Certificate IV or Diploma of Remedial Massage. Gain valuable CEU points.

Chinese Cupping
David Targett
Cupping
is an ancient Chinese method of causing local congestion. A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by
means of heat or suction. This draws up the underlying tissues. When the cup is left in place on the skin for a few minutes,
blood stasis is formed and localized healing takes place.
Cupping therapy has been further developed
as a means to open the 'Meridians' of the body and has also been found to affect the body up to four inches into the
tissues, causing tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, help activate and clear
the veins, arteries and capillaries, activate the skin, clear stretch marks and improve varicose veins.
Cupping is the best deep tissue massage available. Cupping, the technique, is very useful and very safe and can be
easily learned and incorporated into your health practices.
The cupping
therapy training course is run over 2 days 10am to 4pm, once you have completed the subject you will receive a nationally
recgonised statement of attainment that can also be used within a Certificate IV or Diploma of Remedial Massage. Gain valuable
CEU points.

Myofascial Pain & Dysfunction
(trigger point therapy).
Trigger Point Therapy is a method of treating painful muscle spasm and the associated
inflammation within the muscle. It has been estimated that in excess of 50% of all chronic pain is caused by trigger point
activity within our muscles.
Outline:
- What is a Trigger Point.
- Trigger
Point diagnosis.
- Musculoskeletal assessment to complement palpation skills.
- Range
of Motion (ROM) assessment
- Resisted testing, strength, stretch & fatigue
- Prioritising problem areas (cause and symptoms)
- Treatment
techniques for releasing trigger points
- Re-assessment
Robert will begin by clearly outlining what a Trigger
Point is and how to establish the location of problematic Trigger Points. He will then take you through some useful assessment
tools, looking at postural deviations, musculoskeletal limitations in ROM and muscle weakness due to Trigger Points. Following
this he will then cover effective treatment techniques to eliminate Trigger Points causing weakness and limitation in the
body. You will then re-evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and discuss common problems and how best to treat them.
Robert takes a problem solving
approach to all his massage techniques with the goal to alleviate pain or prevent pain in the most efficient way possible.
Although the focus of this workshop is Trigger Point Therapy, people familiar with this technique will not be disappointed
as he incorporates a range of techniques and understanding of how the body works.
The Trigger Point therapy training course is run over 4 days 9am to 5pm, once you have
completed the subject you will receive a nationally recognised statement of attainment that can also be used within a Certificate
IV or Diploma of Remedial Massage upgrade. Gain valuable CEU points.
