Communication During Swedish Massage

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Kimberly Mann, on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this segment, we are going to talk about communicating between the therapist and the clients or vice versa, clients and the therapist. So if you are a person that is receiving a massage, I as a therapist would suggest to you that if it is really, really hurting you and it is really painful, that you really need to communicate that to the therapist. Please, please, do not let the whole fact of it is a female to female or male to female or vice versa…that you just lay there. Please, please, please do not just lay there; you need to end the massage if it is a very uncomfortable or anything. If you are having bad energy, or just the whole atmosphere or just everything about it, please do not lay there; please get up and end the massage. And that goes for you therapists too, if you are feeling a little unbalanced with the client and just the whole thing overall, and if you are really trying to do your best to make them feel better, and they are just really going “Ssss, ssss, ssss…” or anything like that. Please that goes for you therapists too; communication is a big, big part of massage. It really is, it is suppose to be a wonderful experience and you will be able to find one or two good therapists that you do like. So it is very important on both parties, the therapists and the clients, that you guys communicate. "
