Hi Dror, do you have any advice on paying sufficient attention to 'problem areas' while maintaining a sense of overall balance in the massage? For example if the client has muscle pain in the left shoulder, would you recommend doing the exact same techniques on both shoulders but spending more time on the left? Thanks

    Difficult issue, but below will help you;
    - at the end, its really up to the client. Give client options (without overwhelm them) and help them to decide
    - Generally, I will start with a short effleurage, then start focusing on the problematic area. Then, another time effleurage and go again to the problematic area. Then, choose another area, then effleurage, then maybe the problematic area. So...basically, I will alternate between deep technique working on the problematic areas, with the overall flow.
    - About your particular question about the shoulder: is the client come more for a treatment or a treat? This is a good realisation. If only for treatment, then you should work more toward 'trying to solve the problem'. If they come more for a 'treat', then just let them relax.
    Hope this help!
