Tips
Clean and disinfect hands prior to massage.
Always clean and disinfect stones before and after each use.
Before performing a massage, ask the client to tell you their massage preferences or if any techniques cause pain.
Use clean towels and linen during massage.
One should always "warm" the skin first with effleurage techniques (similar to what one would do to apply lotion/oil) Then the practitioner can use other techniques such as tapotement (clapping) and petrissage (skin rolling) Effleurage not only "warms" the area but also introduces the client to therapist's touch. Also use resting holds before any movement to get the client use to the touch.
