In this module, you will learn more about entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial competencies related to
Wellness Massage. You will have a first-hand experience in
educational activities leading to assessment of your personal
entrepreneurial competencies (PECs) and the entrepreneurial
competencies of a successful Wellness Massage Therapists within your
province. You will also have several activities that will align your
competencies with those of successful practitioners. Moreover, this
module will encourage you to think about entrepreneurship and its role
in the business community as well as in the economic and social
development of an individual.
To start with this module, let us first understand entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship.
 Entrepreneurs are people with the skills and capabilities to see and evaluate business opportunities.
They are individuals that can strategically identify products or services needed by the community, and
have the capacity to deliver them at the right time and at the right place.
 Entrepreneurship on the other hand is not just a simple business activity but a strategic process of
innovation and new product venture creation. Basically, entrepreneurship is both an art and science of
converting business ideas into marketable products or services to improve the quality of living.

Below are few important Listed below are the important skills of a
characteristics/traits/attributes of a good successful entrepreneur:
entrepreneur:  Excellent planner
 Hardworking  Possesses people skills
 Confident  Sound decision maker
 Disciplined
 Committed
 Ability to accept change
 Creative
 Has the initiative
 Profit-oriented
People who aspire to start a business need to explore the economic, cultural, and social conditions
prevailing in an area. Needs and wants of the people in a certain area that are not met may be considered as
business opportunities. Identifying the needs of the community, its resources, available raw materials, skills,
and appropriate technology can help a new entrepreneur in seizing a business opportunity.
To be successful in any kind of business venture, potential entrepreneurs should always look closely at
the environment and market. They should always be watchful on the existing opportunities and constraints. The
opportunities in the business environment are those factors that provide possibilities for a business to expand
and make more profits. Constraints, on the other hand, are those factors that limit the business to grow, hence
reduce the chance of generating profit. One of the best ways to evaluate the opportunities and constraints is to
conduct Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) Analysis.
Branding is a marketing
practice of creating a name,
a symbol or design that
identifies and differentiates
product or services from the
rest. It is also a promise to
your customers. It tells them
what they can expect from
your product or service and
it differentiates your
offerings from other
competitors. Your brand is
derived from who you are,
who you want to be and
what people perceive you to
be.
 Develop a tagline
 Design a logo.
 Write a brand message
 Sustain a brand quality
 Practice consistency

Lesson #2: PLAN THE WELLNESS PROGRAM OF CLIENTS

In this lesson, you are expected to:
1. discuss the concept of wellness;
2. discuss the health and healing concept of wellness massage; and
3. explain wellness massage services and products.

Concept Notes:
Big Question: What does it mean to focus on wellness?
Even during the ancient times, people were aware on curing ailments. Massage was introduced and found in the
caves. Wall drawings and paintings were shown to people massaging each other. A mixture of artifacts also
found which contain traces of fats and oils mixed with herbs. These indicate that lubricants may have been used,
perhaps for healing, soothing or beautifying purposes.
Nowadays, the traces of these curing ailments are very visible to us. Different massage techniques are now
being practiced. The essence of enhancing the life style of everyone is to protect ones physical well-being and
to improve his ability in coping up stressors.

History and Development Massage in Ancient Times

oils mixed with herbs. These indicate that lubricants may have been used, perhaps for healing, soothing or
beautifying purposes.

Understanding Contra-Indications
Massage must always be given to bring about improvement, either of specific conditions, or the general well-
being of each client. Clients should always feel that the treatment is beneficial and helping them to achieve their
desired results. Massage should never be given if there is any risk of harming the client or making any
condition worse. The effects of massage may be harmful in certain circumstances. The following explanations
will help you to understand why massage should not be carried out if certain conditions are present. There are
dangers associated with the following:
Cardio Vascular problem
Lymphatic drainage
Skin contact and friction
The Healing Process
Pins and plates
Allergic reactions
Fragile skin
Infections
Inflammation
Cancer
Pregnancy and Full Stomach
5S METHODOLOGY
Japanese companies innovated a productivity philosophy called ―5S,‖ which stands for five Japanese words
that refer to a methodology not only for cleaning, but for business. The 5S methodology is all about eliminating
waste, speeding up daily tasks, and improving the quality of the workplace. You can use the 5S methodology to
help you organize your tasks at the end of every working day.
1. Shitsuke (Self –Discipline) – this process involves extensive training for workers to perform their duties
for proper practices and policies in their workplace.
2. Seiri (Sort) – This is a process for identifying whether certain items are needed, and those that are
needed are immediately discarded to use space effectively.
3. Seiso (sweep) – this is a process for keeping everything in the workplace clean. Always keep
equipments in full working order so that it can be used at anytime.
4. Seiton (systemize) – this is a process for sorting tools and parts in an order that facilitates their use.
5. Seiketsu (standardize) – this is a process for maintaining the seiri, seiton, and seiso conditions in an
effort to prevent every possible problem from occurring. It is also a process for keeping your workplace
clean by classifying everything and eliminating unnecessary items.
Some of the Services that may be offered in a wellness massage

pressure or massaging certain points on the body surfaces.
2.

3. Swedish Massage (Our basic stress relief massage)
This is the most widely used form of massage used for relaxation. Swedish affects the more superficial
layers of muscles and connective tissue. An example of techniques used is long strokes that stimulate
circulation.
4. Deep Tissue
A Deep tissue massage releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body. It uses slow strokes and deep
pressure with the use of fingers, thumbs or elbows on contracted areas, either following or going across
the grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It can be used for specific work or full-body.

 5. Stone Massage
The addition of heated stones to a massage brings another level of relaxation to major muscle groups
and enables the therapist to work at a deeper level. The stones can either be placed on the body or used
as an extension of the therapist's hands.
6. Sports Massage
For the athlete, sports massage techniques are utilized at all stages: pre-event, post-event, during training
and to expedite rehabilitation after injury. This involves compression and a variety of stretching
techniques.
7. Pregnancy Massage
Massage can relieve fatigue, enhance sleep and calm an active baby. Depending upon where you are in
the pregnancy the therapist may utilize reflexology, Swedish massage or very light shiatsu.
TYPES OF MASSAGE
The seven (7) categories described below pretty much cover the field of massage at the present moment. Each
of these types of massage attracts its own type of client, and requires its own set of skills on the part of the
practitioner.
1. Relaxation/stress reduction.
The most common kind of massage, relaxation or stress reduction massage includes the types of
treatments common in resorts, spas, private offices and client‘s homes. This category would also include
wellness massage, or preventive health massage.
2. Sports massage.
This rapidly growing field encompasses athletic training massage, and massage designed to help an
athlete prepare for competition and recover from competing.
3. Medical massage.
Working by prescription, or in a hospital, or in a physical therapist‘s office, the medical massage
therapist works with pathologies, pain or recovery from injury. Medical massage can also be adapted to
a non-medical clientele, and practiced in a home setting.
4. Chiropractic adjunct.
Working in chiropractors‘ offices is becoming more and more common, especially on the West coast.
Some practitioners operate relatively independently from the chiropractor, with a cross-referral
agreement. Others work by prescription of the chiropractor, working on specific parts of the body that
the chiropractor designates.
5. Transformational or psychotherapeutic massage.
Some massage therapists focus on the shifts in awareness and psychological insight that can be brought
about with massage. These therapists often work by referral from psychotherapists. They often combine
another form of bodywork with massage.
6. Pampering.
Probably a branch of relaxation massage, pampering refers to the type of treatment that might be found
in some spa and hair salons. This treatment is usually thought of as more of a beautification treatment
than a health treatment, and might include salt glows, loofa rubs, and light Swedish massage.
7. Chair massage.
Massage or shiatsu done with clothing on, client seated, in any location. This can be done as an
introduction to massage for clients who may not come in for an office massage, or can be a continuing
form of stress-reduction therapy when done on a regular basis, as in the office setting.
Identifying the Vital Information of the Client
I. PERSONAL DETAILS

beneficial; are there any preferences, likes and dislikes that should be recorded?
 contra-indications
 has client received massage in the past?

  how long ago?
III. OTHER INFORMATION
This information will help you formulate the best treatment plan to meet the needs of the client. The plan should
then be fully explained to the client; s/he must be given the opportunity to ask questions and given full answers
to allay any concerns or fears. The long term objective, the cost and timing must be agreed and a consent form
signed by the client reasons for requesting massage expectations from the treatment any concerns or worries
 number of sessions
 did client benefit from the massage?
 reasons for requesting massage
Health History
1. PAST MEDICAL HISTORY - These details will enable you to establish the client‘s state of health; the
likelihood of any contra-indications as a result of past illnesses; whether particular care must be taken over
certain areas and whether medical referral is necessary. If the client suffers from a condition that is an absolute
contra-indication (see page 115 on), then massage must not be given.
 surgical operations
 pregnancies
 serious illness
2. PRESENT MEDICAL HISTORY - These details will indicate whether massage will be helpful to this
client and will influence the type of massage to be given, e.g. if the client is stressed then a relaxing massage
will be the choice. If there is pain and stiffness then the massage will be adapted to meet these needs.
 Medication
 general health
 current treatments
  identification of stress: work, home or other sources
