Video Transcript

"In this clip we're going to demonstrate what a vishi shower is and how we use it in the treatment. This is a vishi shower, not all spas have this. It originated in the vishi region of France and it's a water therapy. And why it is great is because these heads move and are able, without dripping, to stimulate the chakras on the body. When my client is on her stomach and her back is exposed, it will stimulate the chakras and also help to detoxify the body. And we use this to rinse our clients free of any salts on her body. Which is great because she doesn't have the discomfort of getting up in the middle of her treatment and having to shower somewhere else and having to lay back down. So basically we can move these anyway that we want. You want to move this if our client is of smaller stature like Liz. We have a temperature control here, where we can decide which temperature is appropriate for our guest at the time. And also we have a hand held application well while the shower is touching the chakras we're going to be able to rinse her clean."
