"In this clip I'm going to talk to you about who should get wraps and who should not get wraps. Wraps are safe for almost everybody. However, if you are chlostrophobic, definitely not, because you are going to be wrapped with your arms to your side. You can ask to have your arms out, but then you're not really going to get the full benefit of the treatment. Another person that shouldn't have this treatment is someone that has high blood pressure. We always do a verbal consultation. When I go in to the room, I'll ask my client, I'll say, Lizzy, do you have high blood pressure? Are you on any medications for your heart? No. No? So, we're safe in that respect. I'm also going to ask her is she has a shellfish allergy. Do you have a shellfish allergy? No? OK. Do you have any open soars or wounds? We always want to double check that. No. No? Good. So, Lizzy has the green light to get the treatment because she seems to be in good health, and she's not cholostrophobic. Are you? No. OK. Anyone who's looking to lose a couple inches before a big event, or calm down any skin irritations, this is a great treatment for them. And as you can see, there is no redness on my client. She is just as smooth as can be and glowing. And, will you be back again for this treatment? Absolutely. Good. "
