Number of Hours:1

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

Reflective Summary: Client has tight upper back from lifting weights at gym 4/7. Posture good. ROM in back good also in all planes. But limited movement in rotation. I performed mostly myofascial release on the trigger points in upper trapezius and using fingers and thumbs around the scapula and on erector spinae. Clients pain on the scale went up to a 7 so I made sure to take down the pressure.

Areas for further improvement plus action plan: Clients ROM improved after the massage. But may need to strengthen the back to support it when lifting weights. Client will perform back strengthening exercises every day and come in for a massage at least twice a week for the muscular pain.
