Explain why it is important for spa and hydrotherapy practitioners to understand how the human body works

What will be an ideal response?


To understand how spa therapies and hydrotherapy work, it is essential to have an understanding of how the human body functions. These therapies are not merely applied to clients' bodies; they interact with human tissue. Practitioners need to be able to recommend specific treatments for their clients' needs. It is also the practitioner's responsibility to know which treatments would not be useful to particular clients and would perhaps even be harmful to them. Knowing basic physiology of the body and how treatments affect organs and systems gives practitioners the tools they need to make these decisions.
