This textbook guides massage therapists through each step of delivering a spa treatment—from consideration of the indications and contraindications to scope of practice issues, supplies, room set-up, specific procedure steps, and ideas for integrating massage techniques, spa products, and enhancing accents. While wet-room treatments are discussed, the focus is on dry-room treatments, which can be delivered in a wider variety of settings. More than 250 full-color photographs illustrate each technique and treatment. Treatment Snapshot boxes provide a quick overview of the treatment before the detailed step-by-step procedures section. Sanitation Boxes offer clean-up and sanitation tips. Sample Treatments include promotional descriptions, product recommendations, and recipes for creating inviting smell-scapes.

This beautifully photographed book is a collection of twenty-two refreshing recipes shared by award-winning spas from around the world. Creating healthy, delicious, vitamin-infused water is simple, inexpensive and eco-friendly. Author Pam Wenzel was inspired to write Spa Water recognizing that we live in a more health-conscious society, where people have become increasingly aware of the many benefits associated with proper hydration. A seventeen-year breast cancer survivor, Pam discovered a number of correlations between dehydration and health while doing research for the book. She found dehydration could be a major contributing factor—not only to a higher cancer risk, but for digestive problems, back and joint pain, obesity, overall poor health and disease. This collection of mouth-watering and healthful recipes is designed to refresh body and soul.
