1x back massage

 

Reflective Summary                   Areas for further Improvement plus action plan
 

The client wanted a back massage due to a deadlift session in the gym the day before. Due to the level of DOMS the client had it was difficult to go deep with any petrissage techniques, so I focused more on stretching the lats with soft tissue release and trigger points.

 

 

 

To improve on this session, I could have explained to the client more about the science behind his muscle soreness and explained how massage could benefit him.

 

Returning to reflections at a later date
 

I have found that with people who are into fitness the explanations as to why DOMS occur gives them more understanding and theyre more likely to come back for more sessions
