Tips To Make Clients At Ease At A Massage Therapy Session

By Frank Ward


Massages include working or acting on body with pressure and common techniques used are a device, feet, forearm, knees, elbows, fingers and hands. Their purpose is usually for treating stress or pain while the clients lie on table, sit on char or on floor mats. Amateur settings normally use any general surfaces such as bed or floor.

People get this service usually to help themselves get relaxed and relieve pressure, tension and toxins your body has build up. There are several massage therapy Portland experts available for a relaxing time to be experienced by them. If you are an expert and want clients to keep coming back to you then learn the ways of making them at ease using these tips.

Most customers will fall asleep peacefully while in session but may notice some drool pooling up when they wake up so be wary of these things. Offer them with tissue tactfully to help relieve the feelings of embarrassment or awkwardness. Change the sheets then clean the area before a new massage in ensuring the place is peaceful, sanitized and safe.

They like getting themselves relaxed and then meditate while having sessions so inform that doing so is just fine with you. But some kinds of therapy would need their feedback more such as sports or deep tissue massages due to the deeper muscle layers being worked on. Let them know that you are not insulted when they give feedback and it helps in making you comfortable.

Keep your breath always fresh because your client would know what food you ate if precautions are not properly taken after eating. You might have enjoyed it but this will make a situation uncomfortable when they could smell them during the session. Make sure your teeth are brushed or some breath mints are taken before the next therapy.

Customers have different body shapes and sizes with therapists seeing them all everyday that you may forget that they feel conscious too. People will get insecure with their weight, feet, toes, scarring, excessive hair and acne so suggest techniques which is done through clothing. Doing this in their first session would make them at ease with being massaged.

Customers mostly prefer female therapists with others either preferring none or male therapists but this should not hinder the desire of men to enter this profession. More than eighty percent of the therapists are females so males could take this chance in building a successful practice. And when you wear shoes with open toes then have them manicured to avoid distracting your client.

Customers can decide if they rather be nude completely when getting massaged or wear an underwear still. Although if the problematic areas are their buttocks, hips, lower back or groin, suggest that tight underwear could hinder sometimes the therapy. Wearing briefs or thongs for men or women respectively is an alternative that is better.

You must keep your clients happy, comfortable, and relaxed during the treatment with these tips while giving massages being helpful. Be on time and inform them if ever you will be late. This helps to increase your referrals, repeat customers and tips.
