8/11/18  Marjon Clinic  No. of hours 9

Before the session started the client was complaining of tight hamstrings and gastrocnemius. Massage was given to both legs to help loosen and stretch the muscles.

Before the massage was given the station had to be set up ready for the clients arrival. The set up included putting the couch roll on the bed and getting the lotion ready for use. The bed was readjusted when the client was laying on it. Towelling techniques were used this was done by covering their shorts to protect them from lotions. The massage started off with effleurage techniques this included stroking techniques. This is used to warm the muscles up before using petrissage, petrissage was used on the muscles this is to get into the deeper muscle tissue. A couple of the techniques that were used is wringing and kneading.

Have more confidence when massaging new clients and speak up more when giving massage. This includes asking if the pressure is too hard or gentle.
