After finishing your massage session, your client asks to be helped into a seated position because they feel dizzy and disoriented. What would be your initial best course of action for this scenario?
  1. Tell the client you will be leaving the room while they get dressed and to meet you in the reception area.
  2. Call the client’s MD or their emergency contact.
  3. Provide the client with some water or orange juice and stay with the client in order to re-evaluate the situation in a few minutes.
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C It is never a good idea to leave a client who is not feeling well unattended. A client could hurt themselves by falling down, and it is best to monitor the client for signs that the condition is improving or worsening. A client may be experiencing dehydration or slight nausea due to a release of toxins in their system. Many times, clients just need a moment to regain their proprioception (knowing where their body is in time and space). If the condition worsens, it is best to keep the client seated or lie them down while you make an effort to reach the client’s emergency contact or MD.
