Massage therapy needs to be effective for client and efficient for massage therapist. Avoid complicating the application-simplify.
Massage is physical work but does not need to be hard work. Raise or lower table. Use forarms more than hands, palm and heel of hand more than fingers.

This is what she said " It wasn't easy, but it wasn't impossible either."

As massage therapists procedures are things we do. We drape our clients, complete intake assessments, apply massage methods. When developing procedures we need to understand WHY and practice to perfect HOW. We do not need multiple hows so long as procedure is effective, efficient and fits why.

The purpose of licensing massage therapy is to protect public health, safety, and welfare. Licensing is not about excellence. Professional excellence evolves over time through experience and relationships with others, including massage therapists and those in the health and medical occupations.

MENTORING TIP TODAY:
Therapeutic massage is unique. Professional practice can occur in wellness and health promotion and medical care. There is extensive overlap between the two categories, which complicates the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to support a professional scope of practice.

It is impossible to know everything, teach everything and practice everything. Research indicates the general massage therapy seems to help most everything. So rule out contraindications and provide general massage most of the time. Look up information
