client 1: My first Client had requested an STM on their back, shoulders and neck due to stiffness of working.
I carried out a quick observation of the client, I used a variety of techniques being Effleurage, Petrissage and hacking which is a tapotement technique. Also showed my client a nice technique to ease of tension in the neck.
My clients feedback: “feel relaxed, comfortable. realised pressure in lower back + neck. showed exercises to relieve tension.”
Areas for Improvements: make sure nails are cut and filed properly, set up before client arrives, time management.
My second client: requested STM on their hamstrings and calfs due to having DOMS (Delayed On-est Muscle Soreness)
After observation and stretching, I carried out the same techniques for client one. The client had increased flexibility and ROM had also increased.
My clients feedback: “Friendly, thorough and professional, constantly ensuring that I was comfortable and it was not to painful. Tank you!”
Areas for further improvements: Make sure my nails are cut and filed properly, time management and work on different techniques.
