Course Description – 100% Online

“Spa Therapy” presently signifies a wide range of treatments, which may or may not be associated with aqua (water) therapy. The most popular spa treatment, by far, is massage. It has been around for thousands of years and has a number of health benefits. The two most popular massages are Swedish massage and deep tissue massage. Swedish massage typically covers the whole body with firm strokes but without much deep, focused work. Deep tissue massage will use firmer pressure and also include focused work on areas that are especially tight. Another massage offered on most menus is an aromatherapy massage, which uses essential oils to achieve different purposes, most commonly relaxation.

Other popular spa treatments include body treatments like salt glows and body wraps. The basic body scrub exfoliates your outermost, dead skin cells with a salt scrub (rougher), a sugar scrub (gentler) or some other exfoliant, like coffee grounds or fruit enzymes that gently loosen the inter-cellular bonds. A body scrub can be a stand-alone treatment, but it is often combined with a body wrap that is either hydrating (adding moisture to the skin) or detoxifying (anything with clay, mud or seaweed).

Many spas usually have signature services or offer packages that might combine several different treatments, ie: a body scrub followed by a hot stone or regular massage.

This Spa Therapy course is delivered online via video training and through the textbook. This comprehensive program will ensure you will learn all that is required to become a Professional Spa Therapist. Model waivers are included as a download so you can gain your practical experience.

Spa treatments are the services that a spa provides. The most popular spa treatment by far, is massage. It has been around for thousands of years and has a number of health benefits.

Other popular spa treatments include body treatments like salt glows and body wraps. Some spas, usually have signature services that might combine several different treatments: a body scrub followed by a massage and a mini-facial, for instance. The two most popular massages are Swedish massage and deep tissue massage. Swedish massage typically covers the whole body with firm strokes but without much deep, focused work. Deep tissue massage will use firmer pressure and also include focused work on areas that are especially tight. Another massage offering on most menus is an aromatherapy massage, which uses essential oils to achieve different purposes, most commonly relaxation.

The basic body scrub exfoliates your outermost, dead skin cells with a salt scrub (rougher), a sugar scrub (gentler) or some other exfoliant, like coffee grounds, fruit enzymes or a bristle brush or gloves that gently loosen the inter-cellular bonds. A body scrub can be a stand-alone treatment, but it is often combined with a body wrap that is either hydrating (adding moisture to the skin) or detoxifying (anything with clay, mud or seaweed).

Once your client has been exfoliated they can choose a body wrap, or a massage. If they have enough time and want an amazing treatments choose all three.
