Had a practice massage on a friend today and got some really good típs:
1. When asking where the client does not want to be ‘massaged’, ask what ‘zones’ and ask client to point out specifically. It is helpful to have a print out of body outline (front and back) and write notes on it so that you can recall when doing the massage to jog the memory.
2. When asking the client to take off clothes and how to lie on the massage table, stand on the opposite side of the client and table table so that the table is between you and the client. This helps with distance and personal space. I felt a difference when I stood next to client and stood facing client across the table.
3. When telling the client how to lie on table etc it’s ok to ‘instruct them’ ie. ‘I would like you to....’, this avoids uncertainty and also gives air of control and confidence. I kept saying ‘if you’d like to...’

Hope these help.
