there are two issues here: first his lower back. Clients have narratives of how the massage should help them. Some narratives are more parallel to our narrative, some are different. This part of our human experience is very interesting. It's how we explain problems and solutions in our bodies. Some people, for example, see pain as punishment from moral 'wrongly doing'. Some see pain as the responsibility of the doctor to get rid of.
In healing, it's the same. Sometimes you need to understand the context of the client in what they believe in healing. One example is 'no pain no gain'. Another one is 'energy is not flowing in my body. Another is ' even minimal pain is damaging my body. Park of our role is to explain to our clients 'what is going on' and do that in a way that integrates their belief is something positive, not to completely change it. It is a negotiation, education, listening and more...

About the consent: it will be interesting to know what was the different between what you thought was agreed and him. for him it might be 'we agree to work only on the lower back'. For you it was 'we agree to work on the back'. You can learn from every feedback, and you will probably learn how to communicate the consent in a better way, but don't start do major changes just from one client. Just noticed what you have learnt and see what comes next with future clients.
Please update with next treatment!
