there are many important basic concepts involved in handling clients for body work. the therapist needs to expand his or her scope of skin and wellness consciousness. another aspect of body treatment that will need to be worked through with the client is the idea of taking clothes off and being worked on " in the buff" by a therapist. most people feel that their body is not good enough to be seen by anyone. first of all, with the possible exception of a scotch hose or other similar treatment , the only part of the body seen by the therapist at any one time is the part being worked on. this seems obvious to the therapist but the client must be educated to understand this so that taking clothes off isn't a hindrance to growth into the wonderful world of body care. caution and attention to proper draping will resolve the issue once the client has been in for a treatment, but initially shyness is an obstacle that must be handled. both of these major obstacles are not difficult and most often can be handled well from the outset by having a good quality consultation chart.
