Skill - the ability to use one's knowledge effectively and readily in execution or
performance
Communication skills are one of the most important qualities for becoming a
massage therapist since massage therapy is a profession that "requires constant one-
on-one contact" (Yellow Page College Directory).
the session (Arizona Western College). In other words, we can say that communication
is the precondition which makes massage therapy work in the first place.
Good communication skills can also build trust and gain loyal clients (Arizona Western
College).
Good communication skills are also an effective way to attract new clients by
maintaining an interpersonal relationship with current customers who can refer
additional clients.
Keep eye contact. Lack of eye contact can be interpreted by the client as dishonesty or
nervousness, which may result in trust issues.
Maintain a light conversation. It's especially important when you are greeting the
client for the first time. Remember to smile and use light humor (no sexual or offensive
humor) if possible, to help the client relax. It's crucial to show the client your amiability
and respect.
Observe carefully. You should observe the client's behavior in order to find a better
way of communication to make them comfortable. Some clients are "friendly and open",
while others may "act guarded and distant". You should recognize the difference and
communicate with each client in the way that works for him.
Show respect. Nowadays you have more opportunities to meet people from various
cultural backgrounds. You should respect the client's cultural and religious customs no
matter how strange it may seem to you.
Develop good interview manners. State your questions clearly and precisely when
interviewing the client before the session. It's polite to allow the client to answer at his or
her own pace. Do not try to finish answering the questions for the client even if he or
she seems to be slow in answering it. Pay full attention to listen carefully to the client's
response and wait a few seconds to respond after you think the client is done.
Explain clearly. Explain clearly the procedures of the massage session to the client,
especially to people who have no former massage receiving experience, so that the
client can keep relaxed and calm. For example, where to undress, when to start the
session, and how the drape will be moved during the session (the level of body
exposure) are all important questions that clients need to know.
In order to best treat client injuries while promoting general wellness, massage
therapists require strong interpersonal and communication skills. The ability to, listen,
answer questions, and alleviate concerns is a vital part of ensuring that client needs are
being met. Communication is key to fostering a relaxing environment during massage
sessions.

Definition of Terms:
Etiquette - is defined as the formal manners and rules that are followed in social or
professional settings.
Conversation - Expression and exchange of individual ideas through talking with other
people
Communication is an important part of our daily lives. Technology has changed a lot of
things, and the advent of telephone and mobile has mean that we put across our ideas
and thoughts without making an eye contact with
others.
Before picking up the receiver, discontinue any other conversation or activity such
as eating chewing gum, typing etc. that may be heard by the calling party.
• Sit up and smile Speak clearly and distinctly in a pleasant tone of voice.
• If the caller has reached the wrong person and/or department, be courteous.
Sometimes they have been transferred multiple times with a simple question.
The Greeting
• A bright, cheerful greeting will lift most people ‘s spirits and set the proper tone
for the call
• Speak clearly and at a conversational pace; softly audible
• Don ‘t mumble or race through the greeting. This can give the impression that
you don ‘t have time for the caller.
• Thank you for calling Mr. X, my name is Joanne, how may I help you today?
•
Taking Messages
• Be prepared with pen and message slip when you answer the phone. When
taking messages be sure to ask for:
Why is it important?
• A customer’s first impression of your practice is formed during the first few
seconds of contact over the phone or in person.
• More than 80% of your first time customers call before coming into your practice
Remember…
• That customers may have already been interacting with their telephone keypad,
and pre-recorded messages, so some of the initial impression may be out of the
hands of your agents.
• Remember that you may be the first and only contact a person may have in your
practice, and that first impression will stay with the caller long after the call is
completed.
• So the key moment is when the speaking starts. Engage the caller and get them
on your side.
• You need to lay the groundwork even before you pick up the phone
There are several ways that you can end a long phone call without making up a story
sounding dismissive. Leave the conversation open. Promise to finish your conversation
at another time. Tell the person how much you ‘ve enjoyed speaking with him/her. As
long as you are honest and polite with other person, you should not have any problem
ending a call or moving on to something else.
Let’s Practice
It’s time to act now!
This activity aims the student to have an overview of things that may likely to happen
during a phone conversation. Let the student choose his/her partner and demonstrate
the proper ways on
taking up phone calls. Use the checklist box for reference.
Use the following pointers in observing the proper way of doing the activity.
Answer the following questions with Yes or No.
caller‘s concern?
d. Does he/she refer the caller to the right person after knowing that caller reached the
wrong person?
e. Is he/she ready with a pen and paper just in case the caller would leave messages?
f. Does he/she get the correct information given by the caller?
Callers are satisfied. But those callers don ‘t call. And since maybe with the unhappy
minority, you can get a lopsided view of what callers think and feel. Keep Callers in
perspective!
The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen.
Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.

Multiple Choice
Definition of Terms:
Skill - the ability to use one's knowledge effectively and readily in execution or
performance
Principle - a basic idea or rule that explains or controls how something happens or
works
1. Stop Talking
Don't talk, listen. When somebody else is talking listen to what they are saying, do not
interrupt, talk over them or finish their sentences for them. Stop, just listen. When the
other person has finished talking you may need to clarify to ensure you have received
their message accurately.
4. Remove Distractions
Focus on what is being said: don‘t doodle, shuffle papers, look out the window, and pick
your fingernails or similar. Avoid unnecessary interruptions. These behaviors disrupt the
listening process and send messages to the speaker that you are bored or distracted.
5. Empathize
Try to understand the other person‘s point of view. Look at issues from their perspective.
Let go of preconceived ideas. By having an open mind we can more fully empathize
with the speaker. If the speaker says something that you disagree with then wait and
construct an argument to counter what is said but keep an open mind to the views and
opinions of others.
6. Be Patient
A pause, even a long pause, does not necessarily mean that the speaker has finished.
Be patient and let the speaker continue in their own time, sometimes it takes time to
formulate what to say and how to say it. Never interrupt or finish a sentence for
someone.

Definition of Terms:
Non verbal communication - is the transfer of information through the use of gesture,
posture changes, and timing.
While the key to success in both personal and professional relationships lies in your
ability to communicate well, it’s not the words that you use but your nonverbal cues or
“body language” that speak the loudest. Body language is the use of physical behavior,
If you want to become a better communicator, it’s important to become more sensitive
not only to the body language and nonverbal cues of others, but also to your own.
Facial expressions. The human face is extremely expressive, able to convey countless
emotions without saying a word. And unlike some forms of nonverbal communication,
facial expressions are universal. The facial expressions for happiness, sadness, anger,
surprise, fear, and disgust are the same across cultures.
Body movement, or kinesics, include common practices like hand gestures or nodding.
Very often, body movements convey enthusiasm or excitement. For instance, we all
know someone who “talks with his hands.” However, other aspects of kinesics include
actions that we commonly perceive with nervousness or anxiety like involuntary
tremors, frequent clearing of the throat, or a shaking leg. During meetings, it’s best to
keep your hands on a table or in a gentle clasp. You want to avoid “drumming” on your
thigh or repeatedly touching your face, as these are often distracting.
Posture is critical in making a strong impression. How you stand or sit is one of the
important elements in how you are perceived by others. Someone who stands with their
back straight and head held high exudes confidence, assurance, and strength, while,
conversely, someone who is slouched or facing the floor demonstrates uncertainty,
indifference, or even weakness. To express friendliness and positivity, maintain an open
posture. Stand with your legs hip-distance apart and keep your torso exposed as
opposed to covered with your crossed arms. Keep your head raised and relax your
facial expression. A closed posture, especially crossed arms across the chest, gives the
impression of boredom or hostility.
Eye contact. Perhaps the best way to build rapport with a stranger is by maintaining
eye contact. Since the visual sense is dominant for most people, eye contact is an
especially important type of nonverbal communication. The way you look at someone
can communicate many things, including interest, affection, hostility, or attraction. Eye
contact is also important in maintaining the flow of conversation and for gauging the
other person’s interest and response.
Touch. (Haptics) We communicate a great deal through touch. Think about the very
different messages given by a weak handshake, a warm bear hug, a patronizing pat on
the head, or a controlling grip on the arm, for example.
Space. Have you ever felt uncomfortable during a conversation because the other
person was standing too close and invading your space? We all have a need for
physical space, although that need differs depending on the culture, the situation, and
the closeness of the relationship. You can use physical space to communicate many
different nonverbal messages, including signals of intimacy and affection, aggression or
dominance.
Voice. It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it. When you speak, other people
“read” your voice in addition to listening to your words. Things they pay attention to
include your timing and pace, how loud you speak, your tone and inflection, and sounds
that convey understanding, such as “ahh” and “uh-huh.” Think about how your tone of
voice can indicate sarcasm, anger, affection, or confidence.
Physiological changes for example, you may sweat or blink more when you are
nervous, and your heart rate is also likely to increase. These are almost impossible to
control consciously and are therefore a very important indicator of mental state.
To develop a successful relationship, it’s crucial that you have not only strong speaking
skills, but also a keen understanding of nonverbal cues that accompany conversation.

STEP 1: Prepare appointment cards (do this exactly). Each card represents an
appointment slot with
opening on the top. This will serve as your appointment collection box.
STEP 4: Confirm Appointments with Text and Email appointment reminders. Utilizing an
appointment reminder software system will improve upon the number of on time and
kept appointments
STEP 5: Create a client waiting list. Last minute cancellation may be frustrating,
however with a client waiting list, you are armed and ready when this unfortunate event
occurs.
You can also book the clients appointment through telephone. When making an
appointment you should give the person your name and reason for wanting an
appointment. You should also ask the amount of time the appointment will take and if
you should expect a wait time prior to the appointment. Be sure to ask about
cancellation policies and procedures.
With new advance technology online scheduling for your appointment book are also
available. This is convenient and effective way to track of every appointment. It is an
excellent alternative to other appointments scheduling method, because clients manage
their own appointments. Practices of scheduling anytime and anywhere with internet
access is greater convenience for both practice and provider.
Confirming an Appointment.
Always make sure that you confirm appointments when you make them. Be sure to
confirm the appointment by repeating the date and time. This should be one of the last
things you do prior to ending the conversation. When using online, you should
immediately confirm the appointment once it is scheduled.

Definition of Terms
A high standard of professional conduct will gain the confidence of clients and establish
an excellent reputation, which is the basis for success. Abide by the following code of
practices:
Communication Barriers
1. Perceptual and language differences. Any message which is against their values is
not accepted. A same event may be taken differently by different individuals. Perception
is generally how each individual interprets the world around him. All generally want to
receive messages which are significant to them.
2.Information Overload Managers are surrounded with a pool of information. It is
essential to control this information flow else their formation is likely to be misinterpreted
or forgotten or overlooked. As a result, communication is less effective.
3. Intention. At times we just not listen, but only hear. For example, a traveler may not
pay attention to one ―NO PARKING‖ sign, but if such sign is put all over the city, he no
longer listen to it.
4. Time Pressures Often in organization the targets have to be achieved within a
specified period of time, the failure of which has adverse consequences. In a haste to
meet deadlines, the formal channels of communication are shortened or messages are
partially given, i.e. not
completely transferred. Thus sufficient time should be given for effective
communication.
5. Distraction/Noise. Communication is also affected a lot by noise to distractions.
Physical distractions are also there such as, poor lighting, uncomfortable sitting,
unhygienic room also affects communication in a meeting
6. Emotions While he takes differently if the communicator is happy and jovial, in that
case the message is interpreted to be good and interesting. Emotional state at a time
also affects communication. If the receiver feels that communicator is angry, he
interprets that the information being sent is very bad.

Safety – the condition of being protected from harm or other no desirable outcomes
Health and safety laws and regulations apply to everyone whether they are employers,
managers, employees, self-employed, full- or part-time, paid or unpaid workers. Health
and safety issues refer to hazards and risks in the workplace and how to eliminate
them.
Every effort must be made to prevent objects falling and injuring people. Storage
shelves must be checked regularly and examined for any damage that may weaken
them.
d. Objects should be stored and stacked safely in such a way that they are not likely to
fall. Shelves should not be overloaded and should have maximum load notices.
J) Windows
These should be clean and open easily. Ensure that people cannot walk into them if
they are open.
5’s Methodology
It is important to consider safety measures in the workplace. It is not the result of
cleaning up once a week or even once a day. It is the result of keeping the workplace
cleaned-up all the time. It is an essential factor in a good safety program, promoting
safety, health production and morale. Besides preventing accidents and injuries, good
housekeeping saves space, time and materials. When a workplace is clean, orderly,
and free of obstruction, work can get done safely and properly. Workers feel better,
think better, do better work, and increase the quantity and quality of work. Japanese
companies innovated a productivity philosophy called -5 S 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.

LO3.3Endangerment Sites
Endangerment Site/s are anatomical structures that are not well protected and therefore
prone to injury, in which hilot is carefully done. These are the areas on the body where
deep, sustained pressure should not be done because nerves and / or blood vessels
travel in the area.
Skeletal System - It is the internal framework of the body. It is composed of around 300
bones at birth – this total decrease to 206 bones by adulthood after some bones have
fused together.
The human skeleton can be divided into the axial skeleton and the appendicular
skeleton.
Human Skeletal System Organs – The most important organ of the skeletal system is
the bones; Ligaments and joints, tendons cartilage
Eyeball the round part of the eye of a vertebrate, within the eyelids and socket. In
mammals it is typically a firm, mobile, spherical structure enclosed by the sclera and the
cornea.
Anterior and posterior triangle of neck the triangular space in front of this muscle is
called the anterior triangle of the neck; and that behind it, the posterior triangle of the
neck. The anterior triangle is further divided into muscular, carotid, submandibular and
sub mental and the posterior into occipital and subclavian triangles.
Axillary Pertaining to the armpit, the cavity beneath the junction of the arm and the
body.
Abdominal Relating to the abdomen, the belly, that part of the body that contains all of
the structures between the chest and the pelvis. The abdomen is separated
anatomically from the chest by the diaphragm, the powerful muscle spanning the body
cavity below the lungs.
Popliteal (alak-alakan) Referring to the back of the knee. For example, the popliteal
fossa is the hollow behind the knee.
Elbow/antecubital the cubital fossa or elbow pit is the triangular area on the anterior
view of the elbow of a human or other hominid animal. It is also called
the antecubital fossa because it lies anteriorly to the elbow (Latin cubitus) when in
standard anatomical position.
Low back (floating ribs/kidneys) one of the last two ribs. A rib is said to be "floating"
if it does not attach to the sternum (the breast bone) or to another rib. There are usually
12 pairs of ribs in all. Each pair of ribs is attached to the building blocks of the spine (the
vertebrae) in the back.
Endangerment sites sturctures vulnerable to pressure where care must be taken when
using compressive or percussion techniques.
that the treatment is beneficial and helping them to achieve their desired results. It
should never be given if there is any risk of harming the client or making any condition
worse. Working safely with hilot wellness massage techniques you must know the
contraindication/s and endangerment sites, visually locate and assess the extent of any
bruising, rash or irritation, recent surgical scar or traumatic injury and other medical
status of the client. Always involve the client in setting the boundaries for tolerance
during high pressure techniques.

Bolsters - a ready-made bolsters and/or pillows and/or rolled up towels. Have a mixture
of sizes to accommodate your clients’ requirements.
Gluteal region – refers to general region of the posterior buttocks, lying external to the
pelvic cavity.
Prone position – is a body position in which the person lies flat with the chest down
and the backup.
Supine position – means lying horizontally with the face as opposed to the prone
position
LO3.4 DRAPING
Draping it allows you to remain covered and warm while still getting the therapy or
relaxation you need. It is the technique of uncovering only the part of the body that is
being worked on during a massage. Draping allows you to be totally nude underneath a
sheet or towel and feel safe, warm, and unexposed. It also gives the massage therapist
the freedom to massage all parts of the body without being encumbered by clothing.
Using draping, the massage therapist only works on the part of the body that is
exposed—your back, one arm or one leg, for instance, while the rest of the body is
covered. Your private parts are always concealed. That way, the therapist maintains a
professional and ethical practice while avoiding embarrassment to the client or herself.
If working in hot climates, use sheets instead of towels. Ensure sheets are not
transparent – use percale or Egyptian quality sheets.
Draping Guidelines
Bolstering using ready-made bolsters and/or pillows and/or rolled up towels. Have a
mixture of sizes to accommodate your clients’ requirements. Always ask clients if they
want support bolsters under the hips/abdomen especially if the client suffers with low
back pain (LBP), under the ankles and knees.
Prone Position
Posterior Leg Fold the top section of the drape across the back, leaving the
gluteal exposed. With practice, this draping can be accomplished in three moves
and provides a clean line for the application of spa products from the toes to the
top of the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS).
Gluteal Drape
a. Uncover the back and fold the drape down to the gluteal cleft.
b. Grasp the folded edge of the main drape and the bottom edge of the hand towel
or pillowcase.
c. As the main drape is pulled down to expose the gluteal, the hand towel or pillow
case replaces it.
d. Tuck the bottom of the gluteal drape between the legs, leaving a safe distance
between the tucking hand and the genitals.
e. Fold the edges of the gluteal drape to create clean lines for product application.
REMINDER BEFORE you massage the gluteal you must have client consent.
Massaging the gluteal must have relevance to the treatment plan.
Remove all bolsters before turning. Form a tent shape with draping so the clients
can move easily and comfortably. Clients should turn with their backs to you –
this is a safety measure. Clients with a shoulder or hip issue should not turn onto
that side. Ask elderly clients to turn slowly – onto their side – then onto their back
... or the other way if turning from supine to prone.
Turban Drape This type of drape protects the client ‘s hair from spa products
and prevents heat loss during a treatment.
Anterior Leg
a. Gather the drape at the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and at the
ankle.
b. Fold the bottom section of the drape at an angle across the
c. opposite leg using the upper hand to hold the drape at the ASIS as
a pivot points.
d. With the lower hand, grab the fold of the drape and tuck it under
the opposite thigh.
e. d. Fold the top section of the drape across the belly, leaving the ASIS
exposed.
Breast Drape Align the top edge of the main drape with the bottom edge
of a hand towel or pillowcase. As the main drape is pulled down, the hand
towel or pillowcase becomes a breast drape and takes its place.
Anterior Pelvic Drape After the breast drape is in place, continue to pull
the main drape down until the abdominal muscles are uncovered. Align the
fold of the main drape with the bottom edge of a hand towel or pillowcase. As
the main drape is pulled down, the hand towel or pillowcase will become a
pelvic drape. Tuck the bottom section of the pelvic drape between the legs
leaving a safe distance between the tucking hand and the genitals.
Side Lying Position Tuck the draping into the leg of the undergarment.
Lift the knee and pull the draping through from the midline to rest under
the knee that is uncovered (to anchor the draping). Re-cover the entire leg
and foot on completion of the leg massage.
Full Sheet Draping to cover whole body with linen or towel; to provide extra warmth
and comfort.
Half Sheet Drape is an alternative for covering half part of the body.
Contour / Diaper Draping to cover the private part of the client using towel / linen.
The therapist must leave the room before the client undresses and before the client gets
up from the table at completion of the massage. If assistance is requested by the client,
only remain in clinic room to assist the client on and off the table
Use a clean, dry set of linen for every client. Clients must leave underpants on. Draping
techniques should be proficient - minimize the amount of adjusting. Only uncover the
area you are working on. Only massage to the edge of the draping.
