The massage is performed on a treatment couch and the blended oils are rubbed into the skin using a range of movements which are slow and sweeping, starting on the back and the legs. The client then turns over for treatment to the front of the body.
For new aromatherapy clients, it is essential to undergo a sensitivity test at least 24 hours prior to commencement of treatment to ensure there is no allergic reaction to any of the oils to be used. Using the results of this, a number of oils can be selected for use according to their properties, and of course the client's preference and sense of smell.
