Is your room big enough to have your cooler setup away from the table so it doesn't blow on your clients? Or, maybe you can use some plastic vent covers to redirect the air flow. Or even have the air setup in the other room so it doesn't blow directly on your clients, but is still regulating the overall temperature. While you may be able to keep your clients cool enough on the table, I think it would be much more comfortable for you if you used your cooler - but it might depend on your location and just how hot/humid it gets in your area. <br />Good luck and let us know what ends up working best for you!Bodywork Buddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332257321735792289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250930595525972290.post-30171096769159343892012-05-20T22:00:52.998-04:002012-05-20T22:00:52.998-04:00I'm curious about the fan!

I've got a swamp cooler but I sure don't want that blowing at my clients when they're on the table. I can try to find a fan but I don't know what to look for. Are there any other tips for keeping clients cool? Are cold stones a good idea or is cooling the room and eliminating the blanket going to be the best approach?amyhttp://massagesaltlakeheaven.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250930595525972290.post-43871332670872267622012-05-18T07:26:06.493-04:002012-05-18T07:26:06.493-04:00Step stools can come in handy for the clients, too...Step stools can come in handy for the clients, too!
