If you have been raised in a Western culture, Eastern concepts of bodywork can seem very strange at first, and you might want to simply reject them because they don’t match your worldview. This is a
normal reaction but may cut you off from ideas and techniques that could inspire and inform your
developing practice. You have probably noticed already that many of these “new” ayurvedic and
Indonesian techniques are surprisingly like the “old” Western techniques you already know. It’s
interesting to contemplate that people in many different areas of the world were developing similar
ways to use touch therapeutically. Isn’t it amazing that comparable methods developed despite the
very different cultural viewpoints people held as they approached bodywork? As you continue to
progress through your studies think about your prospective and how it is changing.

In the early days of massage school, you probably couldn’t apply the idea of prana or marma points to your massage. Today, these are concepts that you understand and can explore as you deliver massage. Think about all the other cultures that are out there waiting to be explored. Each concept you learn changes you in some way; changes your thinking, changes your hand placement, changes the questions you ask clients to plan session goals, and changes the way you understand the world and spa treatments.

MASSAGE INSPIRATION: Get Some New Culture!

It’s fun to learn about other cultures, and the more you know about other cultures, the easier it will be
to develop original spa bodywork treatments for your practice. In this chapter, you learned about
ayurveda from India and Indonesian bodywork. You can deepen your understanding by planning
activities that expose you to the Eastern worldview. You might go and see a subtitled fi lm from India
or Bali. You might attend a yoga class, meditation class, or practice Balinese dance. Maybe you visit
the local art museum to view their Eastern or Indonesian collection of artifacts. Participation in any of
these activities will help you create connections between pieces of information in your classes. As you
make connections, write them down in a massage or spa journal so that they continue to inspire your
spa bodywork practice, even after you graduate. When you run into new cultures, seek to find out
more. What types of products do they use and export? Are any of these products natural? Would they
make suitable spa treatments? Have fun and explore your world while you explore all the creative
possibilities in spa work

Each module in the guide begins with an outline and a list of key terms with definitions. The treatment chapter has the same internal structure so that information can be found quickly.

Each chapter has the following components:

Introduction: At the beginning of each chapter, the topic is introduced and the framework for the treatment is set up. If the treatment has a unique history, as is the case with thalassotherapy, this is briefly described. Product details are also described in this section when appropriate. For example, a number of different types of fango are used in spa treatments, and each has a different set of therapeutic benefits. When developing a spa service, the therapist needs to have enough information to be able to choose the fango most likely to achieve the desired therapeutic goal.

General Treatment Considerations: This section discusses the indications, contraindications, and any other special considerations for the delivery of each service. For example, in a body wrap, claustrophobia is always a concern. Even clients who have no previous history of claustrophobia may become panic-stricken when wrapped. This section gives practical advice about how to avoid or deal with such situations.

Treatment Overviews: Treatment overviews allow therapists to get a speedy snapshot of the indications, contraindications, supplies, and treatment steps involved in each service. These overviews benefit the therapist who likes a concise list and wants to find information quickly and also provide a framework for understanding treatment details in the procedure sections.

Treatment Procedures: Each treatment procedure describes how to prepare for the treatment and position the client at the beginning of the service. The treatment is broken down into easy-to-follow steps accompanied by photos that illustrate how to position the client and how to apply the products. When appropriate, variations in treatment delivery methods are discussed, taking into account the available equipment, positioning of the client, timing limitations, and the implications of combining a treatment with enhancers or other treatments. Although wet room options are described when appropriate, all of the treatment steps are based on dry room delivery.

Sanitation Boxes: Sanitation boxes appear in the procedure section to remind the therapist about cleanliness and hygiene. Methods for cleaning specific equipment used in the treatments are described.

Broaden Your Understanding Boxes: Some chapters contain a box that helps to give the therapist an understanding of the broader application of spa therapies. Some of these boxes focus on the use of a unique product in other countries (i.e., the use of fango in Europe), whereas others focus on treatments or techniques used by estheticians (e.g., What is a facial?).

Spa Fusion Sections: At the end of each chapter, a “Spa Fusion” section provides useful information, a study tip, review questions to test knowledge and comprehension, and a chapter summary.
