Overview of Session: 45 minutes effleurage and petrissage technique massage on upper back

Reflective Summary: Client was complaining of upper back pain from stress and playing rugby 1/7 and gym 6/7, when I palpated the back, client had pain on erector spinae, trapezius and inferior angle of left scapula. Client had kyphosis in upper back from bad posture. I used myofascial release technique on trigger points of the upper trapezius. Client was in pain from my pressure when I asked for oxford scale, they said a 7 so I reduced my pressure to a 5.

Areas for further improvement plus action plan:

Client felt pain in the upper trapezius afterwards, I believe I may have applied too much pressure and I should have communicated more during the session to notice this before. Client Should come for regular massages and stretch after training sessions.
