Maintaining a clean and safe environment is essential in massage therapy. Proper sanitation protocols protect both clients and therapists from infections and ensure a comfortable, professional experience. Here’s an overview of the sanitation practices followed at our clinic:

1. Hand Hygiene

• Therapists wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after every session.
• Use of hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content when washing isn’t immediately possible.
• Gloves are worn if there are open wounds or skin conditions present.

2. Cleaning and Disinfecting Surfaces

• Massage tables, chairs, face cradles, and other contact surfaces are wiped down with EPA-approved disinfectants after each client.
• Frequently touched items (door handles, light switches, counters) are cleaned regularly throughout the day.
• Linens, including sheets, pillowcases, and towels, are changed between each client and laundered using hot water and detergent.

3. Use of Fresh Linens and Supplies

• Each client receives fresh sheets, blankets, and face cradle covers.
• Disposable items like face cradle covers or bolsters may be used for added hygiene.
• Oils and lotions are dispensed in a way to prevent contamination (e.g., pump bottles, single-use packets).

4. Therapist Personal Hygiene and Attire

• Therapists wear clean uniforms or clothing daily.
• Hair is tied back to avoid contact with clients.
• Nails are trimmed and clean to prevent accidental scratches or contamination.

5. Client Screening and Safety

• Clients are screened for any contagious illnesses or symptoms before appointments.
• Sessions may be rescheduled if a client is feeling unwell to prevent spreading illness.
• Hand sanitizer is available for client use upon entering and leaving the facility.

6. Equipment Maintenance

• All reusable equipment (like bolsters, straps, tools) are cleaned and disinfected regularly.
• High-touch equipment is disinfected after every use.
