Reflective Summary Areas for further Improvement plus action plan
As with all clients I observed the are for swelling bruising and redness. I looked for levels of muscle bulk in the pec major, deltoids, traps and pec minor specifically. I treated the area with soft tissue massage on the pec major as the primary muscle to be treated.
To become a better massage therapist, I need to become better at small talk with clients. This is as they are trying to talk, and I find it a struggle to keep up the conversation.
Returning to reflections at a later date
I have found the best way to engage a client in chat is to ask them about their injury and then expand from there. It also makes the time seem to go quicker so I just need to be aware of timings.
