 The term “Interpersonal skills” is somewhat of a misnomer, because it refers to
character traits possessed by an individual rather than skills that can be taught. It is skills that
the client uses to communicate and interact with other people. They are more professional
and personal. Good interpersonal can improve many aspects of life-personally and socially
they lead to better understanding and relations between clients and therapists.

Interpersonal skills are those values, personality traits that reside deep within an
individual. It comes so much a part of the individual that most of us are not even aware of
their impact on our daily lives. Information gatherings important for the following reasons to
establish inter/intra personal relationship:

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR WELLNESS MASSAGE SESSION

1. Staff Appearance – All spas should have a clear policy that describes the acceptable dress
code and physical appearance for staff members. Many spas prohibit certain items of
clothing, such as tank tops, jeans, cut off shorts, flip flops or miniskirts. Management may
also request that staff members wear clothing that follows current fashion trends. Some spas
may issue staff uniforms to eliminate issues or institute a dress code that calls for all
employees to wear the same color clothing. Female staff members maybe required to wear
makeup and have their hair pulled back.

2. Telephone Procedure – All spa staff members must answer telephones in a courteous,
friendly manner. Most spas require that phone calls be answered in a certain number of rings,
so costumers are not kept waiting. They may also have an office greeting that staff members
are required to say when answering the phone. Staff is usually instructed not to place calls on
hold without asking for the caller’s permission or keep costumer’s on hold for longer than a

Page 2 of 9
 minute. Before hanging up a call, staff members must repeat pertinent information, such as
the scheduled appointment date, time and service.

3. Client Consultation – During consultations, spa employees should learn exactly what clients
hope to get out of a spa treatment. They must read the client’s record prior to the consultation
to see what previous services have been performed. Spa staff should then discuss details tha
are pertinent to the specific service, such as the client skin or hair type, if they are prone to
allergic reactions. Once a service has been chosen, the procedure should be explained to the
client in detail so she knows what to expect.

4. Service Procedures – Each service provided by the spa should have an established procedure
when administered to clients. Guidelines vary based on the specific treatment. Manicure and
pedicure workers must be sure to sterilize all the equipment. Aestheticians must monitor
clients to ensure that they are not having an allergic reaction. Massage therapists must make
sure that clients are comfortable with the manner in which they are draped by towels or
sheets.

5. Housekeeping Procedures – On of the most critical aspects of a spas standard operating

procedures is their housekeeping policy. Clients must be turned off by dirty, unsanitary
conditions, and the spa may face health code violations as well. Laundry must be done on a
daily basis so there is a plentiful stock of clean towels and sheets in service areas and
changing rooms. Floors should be swept throughout the day and mopped at the close of
business each night. Carpeting should be vacuumed as well. Trash must be thrown
throughout the day, and any hazardous materials must be disposed of immediately. In
addition, spa equipment and supplies must be sanitized after use on each client.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

Massage in Ancient Times

 China 2000 – 3000 BC – Chinese: Cong-Fu of the Toa-Tse.

Translated to French in 1700’s. The oldest written record of massage is approximately 4000
years old. It was found in a Chinese medical text, Con-Fu of the Toa-Tse, dated at about 1800
BC. These early accounts detailed the application of massage techniques for therapeutic
purposes.
 AMMA/ANMO – Grandparent of all massage technique.
 Yellow emperor’s book ---200 BC – The Huangdi Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic)
is the earliest surviving canonical text of traditional Chinese medicine. ANMO is referred tp
in 30 different chapters of the Nei Jing.
 Specific massage modalities, such as Refloxology, have been depicted in Egyptian
hieroglyphs as form of hands and foot therapy. This particular pictograph was found in the
tomb of Ankmahor, thought to have been the physician to the Pharoah. Unfortunately, much
of the healing knowledge and wisdom of the ancients has been los through the passage of
time.
 Blind Masseurs – first to train & employed massage in India – Hindu/Indie
 Principle of using oil & herbs as part of their daily routine.

  AYURVEDA/AYURVEDIC PRINCIPLE – Code of life
1. Ayurveda is a holistic healing science which comprises of two words, Ayu and Veda. Ayu
means life and Veda means knowledge or science. So the literal meaning of the word
Ayurveda is the science of life. Ayurveda is a science dealing not only with treatment of
some diseases but is a complete way of life.
2. Ayurveda aims at making a happy, healthy and peaceful society. The two most important
aims of Ayurveda are:
a. To maintain the health of healthy people.
b. To cure the diseases of sick people.

As early as 3000 BC, the Chinese practiced massage to cure ailments and improve
general health. This was the beginning of the development of acupressure and acupuncture.
These massage techniques spread to Japan, where they were further developed. The Japanese
used similar pressure techniques on specific points, which they called tsubo. This form of
massage has been practiced over the centuries; it has recently regained recognition and
popularity and is now known as Shiatsu. Many therapists have studied these techniques,
which they combine with other forms of treatment of the benefit of their clients.

Records show that the Hindus practiced massage as part of their hygiene routines. A
sacred book called the Ayur- Veda (The Art of Life), which was written around 1800 BC,
describes how shampooing and rubbing were used to reduce fatigue and promote well-being
and cleanliness. The Egyptians and Persians use massage for cosmetic as well as therapeutic
effects. They mixed fats, oils, herbs and resins for care of the skin and beautifying the body
and face. Pots and jars containing these creams have been found in Egyptian tombs.
Cleopatra is said to have bathed in milk and then to have been massaged with aromatic oils
and creams by her handmaidens. The practice of massage spread from the east into Europe,
where it was well established by 500 BC.

Massage in Classical Greece and Rome

The Greeks believed in the cultivation of a healthy mind and body, which is similar to the
holistic approach practiced by many people today. Rituals of bathing, massage, exercise or dancing
were practiced by men and women. Homer writes in the poem, The Odyssy of Greek soldiers being
rubbed with oils and anointed by beautiful women to aid their recovery and regain strength on return
from battle. Around 500 BC the Greek physician Herodicus used massage with oils and herbs to treat
medical conditions and diseases. He began to study the effects of massage on his patients. He
concluded and recorded that hard rubbing binds, soft rubbing loosens, much rubbing causes parts to
waste but moderate rubbing makes them grow. Hippocrates also concluded that it was more
beneficial to apply pressure in an upward direction,i.e. towards the heart, as we practice today.

The Romans followed similar routines to the Greeks. They practiced bathing, exercise and
massage for health and social relaxations. Large private and public baths were built. The Romans
built similar baths in the countries that were conquered by their armies. Many such baths were built
after the Roman conquest of Britain in 55 BC, and their ruins can be seen in Britain today in town
and cities such as Bath, Caerleon, and St, Albans. Massage techniques recorded from those times
include manipulations known as squeezing, pinching or pummelling. They relate to the pretrissage
and percussion movements used today.

The Dark Ages to the Renaissance

Little is known about massage or health and beauty practices throughout the Dark and Middle
Ages, i.e. from the decline of the Roman Empire around 500 AD until the Middle Ages around 1400
AD. Few records remain from those days of wars, strict religions, superstition and persecution. Little
value was placed on education, the arts, physical health and fitness.

Following this period came the Renaissance (rebirth) in 1450 AD. Interest in the arts and
sciences flourished and there was renewed interest in the health practices. Once again, we see
massage advocated and practiced for therapeutic purposes. In the sixteenth century, the French
surgeon Ambroise Pare (1517-90) promoted and developed the use of massage. He was the personal
physician to four French kings. He is reputed to have successfully treated Mary Queen of Scots of
massage. Pare graded massage into gentle, medium and vigorous. We use similar categories today,
namely soothing or relaxing, general, and stimulating. Many other physicians copied his methods
and massage was established medically.

The Development of Modern Massage Technique

Modern massage techniques have evolved mainly from a system developed by a Sweddish
physiologist called Per Henrik Ling (1776- 1839). He developed a system of passive and active
exercises known as Sweddish Remedial Gymnastics and also a system of massage movements. Ling
used the term effleurage’, petrissage’, vibration’, friction’, rolling’, and slapping’. Most of these
terms are still used today, but some changes and modifications have been made in the grouping and
names of manipulations.

Dr. Johann Mezgner (1939- 1909), a Dutch physician, developed massage for use in
rehabilitation and used it successfully to treat many diseases and disorders. He adapted massage
techniques in the light of his knowledge of anatomy and physiology. His theories, based on sound
scientific principles, became accepted as medical practice and gained him many followers,
particularly in Germany and America. In England, the eminent surgeon John Grosvenor (1742-
1823) used massage to treat joints. He recommended massage for the treatment of rheumatism, gout
and stiffness of joints.

In 1894 a group of women founded the Society of Trained Masseuses. Rules and regulations
for training and examinations for qualifying were established. These women raised standards and
fought to establish massage therapy as a reputable profession.

Twentieth-Century Developments

During the first World War the demand for massage to treat the injured grew and many more
massage therapists were trained. Membership of the Society of Trained Masseuses grew and in 1920
it amalgamated with the Institute of Massage and Remedial Exercise. In recognition of the valuable
work continued by its members during the war, a Royal Charter was granted and the title was
changed to the Chartered Society of Massage and Medical Gymnastics. The title was changed again
in1943 and became the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. In 1964 its members became state
registered. This protected and gave status to those qualified therapists who were practicing in clinics

Page 5 of 9
and hospitals, and made it impossible for those without a recognized qualification to practice in
hospitals.

In 1966 the City and Guilds of London Institute explored the possibility of establishing a
course in beauty therapy to include massage. This course would provide through training,
background knowledge and a recognized professional qualification that ensured a high standard of
practice. In 1968 the first full time course was offered in colleges of further education. The British
Association of Beauty Therapists and Cosmetologists, the International Health and Beauty Council
and other organizations also developed courses and offered certificates and diplomas. The growth in
complementary medicine and the holistic approach to health ha increased the demands for well
qualified practitioners, not only in massage but also in aromatherapy, reflexology, shiatsu, etc.
