- Optional:At least 70% alcohol sanitising gel or wipes – EXAMPLE HERE:
What to wear on a Jing course
- Loose fitting comfortable clothes (jeans and skirts are not appropriate) as the days will be mainly practical work
- All jewellery is to be removed during massage sessions
- We work without shoes on; so if you get cold feet you might (not in any way compulsory) want to purchase some yoga socks as they have grippy soles. Click HERE for an example
Courses that need some extra equipment
TMJ Pain Course
All of the above PLUS – GLOVES ARE NOT OPTIONAL ON THIS COURSE – You need them for the intra-oral work.:
Hot Stone Courses
All of the above PLUS:
Extra Towels: You need a large towel to go under your heater to dry the stones with. You also need a light coloured t’towel to go in the bottom of your heater.
Stone Kits: Obviously, you will need a great set of stones to carry out your work! For this course you are required to bring your own because this will benefit you in becoming a confident stone therapist; using your own stones during practice sessions will get you used to your own equipment (important because they all have their own personalities!).A Jing Kit of naturally (river) shaped stones can be purchased from Vulsini https://vulsini.com/products/large-jing-massage-basalt-stone-set-43, and use the discount code: JING1119 for some money off!
Stone kits can be purchased from other companies or second-hand – we recommend you purchase at least 40 stones of varying sizes (sacrum stone; large stones; medium stones; small stones; face stones; trigger point stones & toe stones), with a high iron content. Machine shaped stones
Stone heaters: We recommend that rather than buying an expensive stone heater you purchase a “crockpot” or slow heater of size 5 litres or larger from a good electrical shop such as Amazon Argos, Currys, Comet or John Lewis. You will need to purchase one that is wide rather than deep. These usually retail at about £30. Bring this with you as the heaters vary massively and it’s best to get used to your own!

Please avoid bringing heating massage bags.
