20/11/18 massage

DATE: 20/11/18

Location: Clinic

Number of Hours: 1

Overview of Session:

Client is a professional dancer with very tight back muscles. Massaged using effleurage and petrissage techniques for 45 minutes

Reflective Summary:

Client ROM in extension was limited because of the lower back limiting the movement and rotation movement was limited because of muscular pain. Client also had posterior pelvic tilt which is causing strain on the lower back. I massaged the external and internal obliques using mainly my elbows and finger tips to get into the deep muscle for 20 minutes and the upper trapezius using myofascial release technique on the myofascial trigger points. I then assessed the ROM and extension of the back had improved but not rotation. I also placed 2 koniology tape at the bottom of the back on the sacral spine to add pressure to help with the pain.

Areas for further improvement plus action plan:

Client needs regular massages to release the muscular pain from over training. The client also needs to strengthen stomach muscles to support her back. I have given her planks and ab workouts to complete at home.
