| Reflective Summary | Areas for further Improvement plus action plan | ||
| During the massage today I massaged my clients back as it had started aching. I confirmed which medium the client would prefer me to use, in this case that was lotion.
I consistently ensured that the pressure I am using is ok with the client which in this case was a little heavy, so I eased up with the pressure I was using. When finding tender areas, I changed the pressure to prevent hurting the client. Massaging this clients back has helped me improve my tapotement technique and build confidence in it. At the end of the massage I asked the client for there feedback and if that had any recommendations for things I could do in the future, to which the client responded by saying after I changed up the pressure there was nothing wrong. |
After completing the massage, I need to ensure that I lower the bed to allow the client to get off with ease. When I have finished massaging the client, I need to remember to advise them on after care this will make sure the work I’ve done during massage isn’t reversed. | ||
