8/11/18 Massage Reflection

DATE: 8/11/18

Location: Clinic

Number of Hours: 1

Overview of session:

45 minutes of effleurage and petrissage on lower back muscles

Reflective Summary:

On arrival to the clinic my patient was complaining of lower back pain. On palpation my client had very sore external obliques. Plus posterior pelvic tilt on posture assessment. I assessed the clients ROM in the spine by asking them to touch their toes with straight legs. My client was able to do so well with not much pain. The client has been running at the gym 4/7. So I have put the pain down to muscular pain. I massaged the lower back predominately using wringing technique mostly as client said that felt the best.

 

Areas for further improvement plus action plan:

I would like to research how to help posterior pelvic tilt so I can give my client more information regarding this. For the next session I will perform more effleuarage and petrissage as well as circular frictions.
