Understanding hygiene is essential for massage
therapists to keep themselves safe from infectious diseases and
to keep them from spreading between their clients.
The main goal is to discourage and prevent growth or spread of
pathogens and allergens. Sanitizing and disinfecting your
massage office consists of keeping your table, face cradle,
sheets, bottles of lotion/oil, hydrotherapy equipment as well as
the carpet, walls and counters clean and sanitary.
Clients also may have allergies and
sensitivities to mold and any scents or laundry detergent that
you use so using hypo-allergetic products can help.
After every massage you must wash your hands and
forearms to keep them free from bacteria. Proper manicure skills
will keep nail beds clean and smooth to not leave scratches on
clients.
