Location: Clinic

Number of Hours: 1

Overview of Session: 40-minute effleurage and petrissage massage on hamstring and quadricep muscle

Reflective Summary: Client had been squatting weights 3/7 and had muscular ache on quadriceps and hamstrings. I performed 20-minute massages on each leg mainly using wringing and my forearms and elbows to get deep into the tissue as client needed more pressure. I then spent 5 minutes using MET stretching for the hamstrings and quadriceps

Areas for further improvement plus action plan: I feel I could have used more pressure by lowering the bed more to put my full body weight onto the client. Also, by using less lotion so I did not slide off as much. Client should use stretches we performed in the session after every gym session, also coming in for regular massages
