First, if someone has a slow heart rate I will ask the client the following: How severe your condition is? If they don't know, I will give a short and brief massage and not super relaxing. How does it affect you? If the condition affect the client, the massage I will give will be shorter, not need and not super relaxing This is why its imporntat to know the anatomy and physiology.
Exactly. How many times you hear stories who go to a doctor for second opinion? or one doctor is better in treating certain condition. So, the decision if to give massage or not, also relate to each therapist. And this also happens in medicine. If a client has complicated situation, the GP will not treat him/her but refer them to a specialist. The same in massage: the fact that you CAN treat someone, does not mean that you WANT or KNOW how to do it. For now, the most important thing is to be good in getting information from the client. The will follow.
Yes! Correct...An alternative that some therapists use is a fleece blanket instead of towels (the towels are problematic as drying over a long long time). Have a look at this example https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7224762
Hello Kerry, Yes, I had this plenty of time. Later on the course, we will learn that most areas in in the body can be massaged when the client is facing up (its called supine position). The supine position will dramatically reduce this kind of problem.
