The floor in a treatment area, is always considered a “dirty” surface. Place things like bottles of oil, jars of cream, bolsters, or even linens on the floor is placing them on the dirty surface and thereby contaminating them. Using these items then transfers the the contamination to the practitioners hands and then to the client. At no time should anything that is going to be used in a session be placed on the floor.
Lubricant bottles need to be in student apron or holster. This means making certain that massage and polarity students have and use either an apron or a holster with them as part of their dress code.
Towels, capes, tables, chairs and all tools for each modality must be handled carefully to make sure it is not placed on “dirty” surfaces. If any tools or equipment is in contact with a “dirty” surface, it must be sterilized and the practitioner must thoroughly wash and sanitize their hands before continuing to work on the client.
