Aseptic technique as it relates to therapeutic massage clinic
CDC categorizes items bases on the degree of risk for disease transmission, in turn indicates how items should be processed
Critical Items = ones that pose a risk to penetrate soft tissue: ex. cupping, gua sha
clean w germicide or sterilized with heat for each client
Semi-critical = ones that touch only muscous membranes: ex face face cradles, m- tables, m-chairs
cleaned with disinfectant for each client
use hospital grade disinfectant
Non-critical = ones that contact intact skin have the lowest risk of transmission (ex linens, bolsters)
clean with disinfectant for each client

Enviromental Contact
many pathogens common in food, water, soil, and many surfaces

Environmental Cleaning
a massage spa or clinic is considered to be a premise or facility. Hence local, state, and federal public health codes are regulations w which to comply
Housekeeping must include procedures for routine cleaning and disinfection
p279-280
sporicides kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses
cleaning of clinic rooms
cleaning of waiting rooms
cleaning of employee areas
Fungi
Hazard
hygiene for massage professionals
body free of order or scents
oral health
clothing clean and modest
remove jewelry
hair pulled back
Opportunistic disease v Opportunistic invasion
a number of pathogens are commonly present on the human external body and mucous membranes.
can result in disease if homeostasis is compromises, (ex. change in pH, compromise of epidermis protective tissues)
Pathogenic organisms
organisms which give rise to disease in the human body, usually through direct contact via bodily fluids; respiration, tactile transmission.
bacteria = primitive cells wo nuclei;
pathway of bacterial disease = secret toxic substance, becoming parasitic; colonizing and thus
disrupting normal body function
fungi = group of simple parasitic organisms
protoza = single cell animals that can be parisitic and/or colonizing
viruses = organisms that invade cells then insert their own genetic code into host cells; using host cell
nutrients
pathogenic animals = syn. metazoa, multicellular, such as worms, feed off of human tissue and create
pathway of other dissease.
Person-to-person contact
PPE
personal protective equipment
Protoza
Sanitation
prevention of the spread of contagious diseases through practices that contain and dispose of contaminated materials; ensure a clean and sage environment via proper implementation of standards established by CDC
