What is the best way to position your client at the start of a Swedish massage session?
  1. Client prone
  2. Client supine
  3. Client in a side lying position
  4. In a position that allows you to focus on their problem area at the start of the session
Explanation
Answer: D The best way to position your client at the beginning of your session is to position the client in a way that allows you to start the massage focusing on their problem areas. If the client is having a problem with their calf muscles, focus on the calf muscles first and proceed from there. Many therapists get caught up in a specific routine that doesn’t allow them to work on specific areas of pain at the beginning of the massage. Keep in mind that clients often leave sessions not satisfied because their areas of pain are addressed too late in the massage or never fully addressed.
