Hand made from non-absorbent soapstone, nature’s best thermal conductor, CoreStones are an instrument assisted tool that maintains heat and cold longer than any other stone. When applied to the skin, they provide a silky, deep and uniform pressure. They have been developed with the practitioner in mind, allowing the therapist to work longer with less effort and strain. CoreStones are easy to hold and easy to use, reducing strain on your hands, wrists and thumbs.

The goal and purpose of this course is to explore the ways massage therapy can help manage and mitigate headaches and migraines with the use of CoreStones. With the use of cold stones and various manual therapy techniques, a routine and plan can be formulated to assist an RMT in the care of their clients who suffer from these issues.
