Essential Supplies for Massage Therapy: A Comprehensive Guide


Question
why would you need the following things for massage
chair/stool
large and small towels
massage envision or massage gel
surgical spirits
jar of Vaseline
cosmetic cleansing preparations

Answer
Thanks for your inquiry, Aine.

IMHO, most of the answers to each are pretty much self-explanatory:

chair/stool is used to save your back and rest while providing massage at least at either end of the table to client's head, neck, shoulders & feet.  Also while working hands at side of table.

large & small towels for whatever makes client feel comfortable, to clean hands and to wrap bolsters in.

massage gel - as lubricant during session by itself or with oil/ lotion.  Don't know massage envision.

Don't know what surgical spirits means or applies to.

Not sure about Vaseline either.

Cosmetic cleansing preparations - unless you are describing anti-bacterial soft soap, don't know how this would apply to a massage session...unless therapist is also an esthetician.

I hope that helps you.
