I’ve recently had a couple new clients that had a bad experience with their first massage. It took them a while but they finally decided to get more bodywork done. Im so glad they did and I congratulated them on having the courage to try again.
If anything else, I truly wish for everyone to understand that yes while the massage therapist is the skilled worker, YOU, as the client, have every right to speak what you need. Whether that’s the pressure being used, the table not being hot enough, or you want more time spent on a certain area. Your time on the massage table is your time! Your time! I think the same goes with any care you are receiving from someone whether they be a doctor, surgeon, etc. you have the right to speak up and I make it a point to let my clients know that. I want your time to be unique to your needs/wants. I want you to feel safe. I want you to leave feeling better physically, and emotionally than when you entered my room. Also, as an independent massage therapist you can even request what type of music you want to listen to!!! Don’t ever shy away from speaking up or think that a request is silly. I know you honor my time and I want to honor yours.
