Several times I have had new clients tell me of bad experiences they have had with other therapists. It would range from them saying that they would grit and bear the pain because they thought it would be more effective or the pressure was so light they didn’t even feel like they were getting a massage. As I would sit and attentively listen to each story; I would ask the question; “did you say anything?”
This is your time you have chosen to allocate for yourself first and foremost. So, if at any point the massage is not up to your expectations then you owe it to yourself to Speak Up! I had a client today. I started her face down. After massaging her for 25 minutes, I noticed she was moving her head in the face cradle a few times. So, I asked her, “Would you like me to adjust your face cradle?” Her response was, “yes please, a little higher.” I made the adjustments in less than 30 seconds. Nonverbal communication will speak just as high as verbal.
At the end of the day; it’s your time and your money. Don’t walk away disappointed and left with the impression that massages are not beneficial!
