Darla Dilemma, licensed massage therapist, notices that every time she massages a certain area on the client, the client flinches in pain. What would be the best course of action to take while continuing the massage session?
  1. Ask the client if the pressure is too deep.
  2. Avoid the area and continue the session.
  3. Lighten up your pressure when working on the area.
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D Taking any and all of the above actions would be appropriate for this scenario. Always follow the comfort levels established by the client. Watch how the body responds to your treatment, and be prepared to make modifications as you move through your session. It is not uncommon for a client not to speak up about pain, pressure, or discomfort during the session. A good massage therapist will take the time to question their clients and evaluate all situations that may arise during a session.
