Overview of session: 30 minute effleurage and petrissage massage on hamstrings and 15 minute K-Tape application on hamstring muscles

Reflective Summary: Client came with tight hamstring muscles from lifting weights at the gym, particularly leg exercises. Client had muscle bulge on both hamstrings and on palpation had pain in lateral and medial sides on both legs. I performed massage using mainly wringing technique and muscle rolling. I then went onto K-Tape both hamstrings to add pressure to the area. I applied one tape with 4 legs starting from just above the back of the knee to the top of the gluteus muscle. I repeated this on both legs. Client felt relieved of pain and supported from the tape to continue exercise at the gym after resting for a few days.

Areas for further improvement plus action plan:My massage went well. However my K-tape I had trouble cutting the 4 legs. I would like to work on this
