Product Description
The ability to deliver an exceptional and satisfying spa treatment is a special skill for which massage therapists are particularly well suited. Knowledge of spa treatments not only allows massage therapists to offer their clients more options; it gives them a competitive advantage when seeking work in the spa industry. This textbook guides the massage therapist through each step of delivering a treatment--from a consideration of the indications and contraindications to scope of practice issues, the supplies needed, how to set up the room and practical tips on the specific steps involved. It also provides ideas for massage therapists on how to integrate massage techniques, spa products and enhancing accents, to create and deliver unique services. While wet-room equipment and techniques are discussed throughout the book, the focus is on the delivery of spa treatments in a dry-room setting. This approach allows for the use of spa services in a variety of settings such as a classroom, private practice, and massage clinic or day spa without the need for expensive wet-room equipment.

The book answered a lot of questions that were unanswered for me. As a massage therapists who recently started a practice, the book was very insightful as it offered many options to enhance the massage session within the boundaries of massage therapy. The best part though is it also offered inexpensive options that would be equally practical in the dry room setting. Very easy to follow techniques which when correctly applied can be included into the massage session without going over the time alloted to a client.
Worth every cent and more. I have no regrets on this purchase.
