Components of a Great Massage in Ogden
​By Therapeutix Wellness Center
When a client walks into the massage room, you have to act in a way that he will know that you are good at what he has come for. The first impression is very important and through it, the client will either know he made the right choice or a grave mistake by coming to your spa.
What makes a great massage?

• A confident touch: The first touch on a client’s body should be a sign that you know exactly what you are doing. If your touch is not confident, the client will think that you are not sure of what you are supposed to do and you are just trying to find your way.
• Continued touch: Do not disrupt the flow of the massage by removing both hands from the client’s body. A client will be more at peace if maintain the touch as it will be a sign that it is a continuous process.
• When working on a certain area of the client, do not make halfway strokes as this will make the client feel as though the massage is incomplete. Thoroughly cover the entire area being massaged as this will make the client feel satisfied.
• Sensitivity and response: As a massage therapist, you have to be sensitive to the client’s response to every touch. You should also use verbal means to ask if a certain move is creating any discomfort.
• Be focused: As long as the client is on the massage bed, let your entire attention be focused on her. Some clients like to talk throughout the massage session and it will be your responsibility to wisely bring back the required silence without sounding bossy or uninterested in the conversation.

The most important issue in any massage therapy is to make the client feel better and if he will achieve this through talking, do not deny her the chance to do so. Do not let it go beyond the professional boundaries as you will be the one on the losing end. Politely decline to participate in anything that may put your career as a massage therapist on the line.
