They thoroughly manage pre- and post-treatment health checks, temperature control, and hygiene to provide safe and comfortable services. Techniques and physical stamina that consider the burden on the body in thermal environments are required, and communication skills tailored to customer service and conditions are also important. They work in spas, fitness facilities, hotel bath areas, and may also offer freelance dispatch services.
