Occupational Safety Case Study
Bodywork and spa professions are physically taxing on the body but practitioners can avoid workplace hazards and injuries by paying close attention to their bodies and environments.
Toxic Exposure to Massage Products
In the February 12, 2009 edition of Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health [PMID 19221678] a Swedish study looks at two spa workers who got sick from exposure to products used in massages. The article “Acute effects of occupational endotoxin exposure at a spa” observed these two spa employees as they had fevers, diarrhea, shivering, palpitation and arthralgia. It was tied back to the seaweed product the workers were using on a regular basis.
On several massage therapy forums and message boards members have complained of environmental toxins from overexposure to massage creams and lotions, particularly with products that may contain harmful chemicals, additives and preservatives. They are not in large enough quantities to harm most clients but a massage therapist that encounters the same product day in and day out can develop sensitivity to it quickly.
