Some of these might ruffle a few feathers đ
But hereâs what I actually mean:
Too much lotion = less control and less ability to engage the tissue.
Coming in hot = going from zero to DEEP without giving the nervous system or tissue time to adapt.
Your phone = unless thereâs a legitimate reason, it doesnât belong in your hand during someoneâs session.
Lights = give them a minute. Let them come back to earth before you hit them with the fluorescents đ
Talking = follow the clientâs lead. Some want connection. Some want silence. And sometimes we need to communicate because, you knowâŚweâre working with another human being.
Discounting = stop deciding what other people can afford for them.
Draping = your clientâs comfort level matters more than yours. Appropriate, secure draping doesnât have to mean exposing as much as you personally feel comfortable with.
And the internet one? đ
I donât want to see your cheeks or your crotch in b***y shorts while doing massage. If the primary reason a technique is being filmed or performed that way is because it looks provocative, extreme, or gets attentionâŚmaybe ask yourself why. Who are you trying to attract đ¤
Massage doesnât need to look crazy to be effective.
Did I miss one?
What would you add?
