SimmonsMacmillan, London, UKYear 1998Pages 244This book covers the theoretical and practical aspects of the working conditions and services in the salon and the equipment used for client treatments. It concerned with the many pieces of equipment which are available to assist the therapist in treating clients. These are not all confined to the salon and many therapists will have the opportunity to work in health centres, sports centres and health farms and will have to treat clients in the pool or the gymnasium.
