| Reflective Summary | Areas for further Improvement plus action plan | ||
| During the massage today I massaged my clients calves as after walking it had become sore. I confirmed which medium the client would prefer me to use, in this case that was massage lotion.
I consistently ensured that the pressure I am using is ok with the client which in this case was good, I maintained the pressure I was using. When finding tender areas, I decreased the pressure I was using. Massaging this client’s calves has helped me improve my wringing techniques 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 making the bed easy to get on. |
After completing the massage, I need to ensure that I
Warm the medium in my hands before applying it to the area I am massaging. I need to remember to lower the bed before the client arrives this will make it easy for the client to get on.
