By Frank Ward


Massages include acting and working pressure on body with techniques applied commonly with knees, hands, forearm, a device, elbows, fingers and feet. Their purpose is normally for treating pain and stress while clients are lying on floor mats, table, or sitting on chair. Amateur settings usually use general surfaces like the floor or bed.

People usually get this service to help themselves be relaxed and relieve toxins, pressure and tension your body is building up. There are many massage therapy Portland professionals available for them to experience a relaxing time. If you are a professional and want your clients to come back again then learn to make them at ease with these tips.

Most customers fall asleep peacefully during a session but might notice some drool when they woke up so be alert with these situations. Offer them tactfully with tissue to help relieve their feelings of awkwardness and embarrassment. Change the sheets and clean the area after each massage to ensure that they can relax somewhere safe, peaceful and sanitized.

They like getting themselves relaxed and then meditate while having sessions so inform that doing so is just fine with you. But some kinds of therapy would need their feedback more such as sports or deep tissue massages due to the deeper muscle layers being worked on. Let them know that you are not insulted when they give feedback and it helps in making you comfortable.

Keep your breath fresh as your client will know what you ate if proper precautions are not taken after eating the meal. You may have enjoyed the meal but this would make an uncomfortable situation during the session when they can smell them. Make sure you brush your teeth or take some breath mints before your next therapy.

The shapes and sizes of customers are different and therapists usually have seen them all every day that you might forget they could feel unconscious. People would get insecure of their feet, scarring, acne, excessive hair, toes and weight so suggest techniques that is done with clothing. Doing this during their first session will make them feel at eased while being massaged.

Customers prefer mostly female therapists while others prefer male or therapists of either gender but this must not be a hindrance for men to pursuit this profession. Eighty percent among the therapists are females which make males have more chances in succeeding in building their practice. When wearing open toed shoes, manicure them so your client would not be distracted.

Customers could decide if they prefer wearing an underwear still when getting massaged or be nude completely. Although if their problems areas are their groin, buttocks, hips or lower back, suggest to them that tight underwear can hinder the therapy at times. Wearing thong or briefs for women and men respectively is a better alternative.

You should keep your clients relaxed, happy and comfortable during the treatment so include these tips when giving massages. Be on time always or inform them if you would be late with your schedule and be friendly and courteous. This helps in increasing your tips, referrals and repeat customers.
