Always Learning in
the ISPA Academy
DID YOU KNOW THE ISPA ACADEMY has an extensive glossary of spa terms,
all compiled by your fellow ISPA members? The list is constantly being updated
with new and old treatments, staff position terminology and more. Here are a
few of the latest additions to the Academy:
AFFIRMATION THERAPY: This technique is used to overcome physical
ailments and emotional problems by repeating a positive statement, similar to
the therapy of visualization.
BONNIE PRUDDEN MYOTHERAPY: Developed by fitness expert
Bonnie Prudden in 1976, this bodywork method is intended to relax muscle
spasms, improve blood circulation and diminish pain. Using elbows, knuckles or
fingers, the practitioner applies pressure to highly irritable spots on muscle tissue
that may send pain to other areas.
OXYGEN FACIAL: Oxygen facials are said to combat visible signs of aging linked to poor conveyance
of oxygen from subcutaneous capillaries to the surface of the skin. They address the deficiency by deliv-
ering highly concentrated oxygen molecules directly to the epidermis. A stream of high-pressurized oxygen
infused with botanical, vitamin, mineral, and nutrient extracts is applied to the face and neck. The oxygen
absorbs the moisturizing agents into the skin for a smoother, plumper look, providing a healthy glow.
