Description
The beauty therapist, increasingly called upon to administer massage, will welcome this manual. Its modern and practical approach will
appeal to all who wish to improve their standard of massage.
The physical comfort and reassurance which massage can give, especially
when coupled with exercises, make it more than a sensuous luxury: rather it is a positive factor in promoting bodily wellbeing.
The
clear and detailed explanations of massage techniques in 'Body Massage for the Beauty Therapist' are supplemented by many drawings and
photographs, which also serve to clarify the structure of the human body and its functioning.
The personality and qualities of the
therapist are brought into perspective and helpful advice given on the organization of the salon. Valuable sections are included on
relaxation techniques, correct breathing and exercises which the client can undertake. Aromatherapy and gyratory massage are also covered.
Audience
Practising beauty therapists, lecturers, students (C&G, NVQ, courses run by the NSHBT, SAC affiliated to CIDESCO, ABT.
