Personal Hygiene
Personal hygiene and cleanliness are very important for massage therapists since we are working in close proximity to each other. Best practices is to shower before and after the working day. Wash your hands and feet before and after each massage session. Nails need to be short with smooth edges (use a good nail file), but take care not cutting them too short or close from the skin, as it may result sharp pain and bleeding.
