Learn massage therapy (read all 24 entries…)
first clinic shift 2 months ago

I did five 50-minute massages yesterday. Overall things went well. I didn’t make it to the school as early as I had wanted but I had plenty of time to setup my booth.

I was not sure how my body would stand up to doing multiple massages. My wrist feels a bit sore but I didn’t feel any sharp pain. I know that I can keep improving my body mechanics. I caught myself cheating during some of my massages. I was flexing my arm at the shoulder instead of driving with my hips. My back is a little sore today since my posture/stance was not as good as it should have been.

My first client even left me a tip. Our school has a no tipping policy so I turned the money in. I think that the quality of my work started to drop off during the 5th massage. I’m not sure how I could have improved my work at this time. I need to reflect on that session. We’ll get our feedback forms on Monday.
