Massage Therapist

Answer: C If a client is lying face down on the massage table and begins to experience pain in their back during the session, a bolster should be placed under the hips. By placing a pillow under the hips, the back will automatically flatten out and reduce the compression often experienced in the lower lumbar. This tilt in the hips will reduce pain and stress by repositioning the client. If this does not help the situation, place the client face up and bolster their knees which will create the same positioning.
