LO2.1 COMMUNICATION SKILLS

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).

Massage therapists need to listen carefully to their clients in order to understand


what they want to achieve in the massage therapy (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.).
Then they can respond to clients' communication and cater to the clients' needs during

LM – HILOT WELLNESS MASSAGE/GRADE 10 8


TANZA NATIONAL TRADE SCHOOL
GRADE TECHNICAL-VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT
10 SPTVE- HILOT WELLNESS MASSAGE

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.

Tips for Being a Good Communicator

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

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

LO2.2 TELEPHONE ETIQUETTE

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.

Get ready for it…

• 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

LM – HILOT WELLNESS MASSAGE/GRADE 10 11


TANZA NATIONAL TRADE SCHOOL
GRADE TECHNICAL-VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT
10 SPTVE- HILOT WELLNESS MASSAGE

• 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?

Words and Phrases That Keep Callers Cool

• Hello! I ‘m sorry to keep you waiting.


• Good morning! Thank you for waiting.
• Please, it was nice talking with you.
• I ‘am very sorry. Thank you for coming in (for calling).
• Excuse me, it’s been a pleasure to serve you.
• You ‘re welcome. I ‘d be happy to do that for you.
• May I help you? We appreciate your business.

Taking Messages

• Be prepared with pen and message slip when you answer the phone. When
taking messages be sure to ask for:

- Caller‘s name (Ask the caller to correct spelling)


- Caller‘s phone number and/or extension including code number

• Repeat the message to the caller


• Be sure to fill in the date, time and your initials
• Place the message slip in the called party‘s inbox or in a conspicuous place in
their office such as their chair.
• Don‘t forget that you can transfer them to voicemail instead of taking a paper
message, but don‘t forget to ask, ―Would you like me to transfer you to ____?
Don‘t assume that the caller would rather go to voicemail.
• Always ask first.

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

• It is often said that human communication consist of 93% body language …


while only 7% of communication consists of words themselves.
• Whether answering the phone or making phone calls, using the proper etiquette
is a must in order to maintain a certain level of professionalism.
• Proper etiquette leaves callers with a favorable impression of you, your
department and the practice in general.

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

How to End Conversation Gracefully

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.

Three Myths about Callers

1. Callers try to make things difficult.


No they don‘t, even if sometimes they do spell their name two different ways. The
Callers may not always be prepared to talk to you. They may never call your department
before. They may not know what information they need to have handy. You need to
dialogue with them. The experience should be enjoyable for both of you.

2. Callers like to complain.


Of course, there are chronic complainers- those who think everything is overpriced and
that they never get good service. And you must provide them a courteous and
professional service no
matter how difficult it might be. But most callers don ‘t like to complaining, in fact they go
out of their way to avoid it. Take time seriously when they do have problems. Be
attentive and respectful.

3. Callers expect the impossible.


What seems like an impossible request maybe due to the caller ‘s ignorance about a
situation? Offer brief explanations when possible and don ‘t assumes the caller knows
everything you do.
I ‘m sorry we have no more appointments on that day. We have a limited number of
appointment time set aside for that type of service. Callers may not always be pleased
but at least they will know the limitations you must work with. Remember most of your
practice ‘s

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.

LO2.3 Listening Skills


Listening is the ability to accurately receive and interpret messages in the
communication process. Listening is key to all effective communication, without the
ability to listen effectively messages are easily misunderstood communication breaks
down and the sender of the message can easily become frustrated or irritated. Listening
is so important that many top employers provide listening skills training for their
employees. This is not surprising when you consider that good listening skills can lead
to: better customer satisfaction, greater productivity with fewer mistakes, increased
sharing of information that in turn can lead to more creative and innovative work. Good
listening skills also have benefits in our personal lives, including greater number of
friends and social networks, improved self-esteem and confidence, higher grades at
school and in academic work and even better health and general well-being. Studies
have shown that, whereas speaking raises blood pressure, listening brings it down.

“Listening is Not the Same as Hearing”


Hearing refers to the sounds that you hear, whereas listening requires more than that: it
requires focus. Listening means paying attention not only to the story, but how it is told,
the use of language and voice, and how the other person uses his or her body. In other
words, it means being
aware of both verbal and non-verbal messages. Your ability to listen effectively depends
on the degree to which you perceive and understand these messages.

The 10 Principles of Listening


A good listener will listen not only to what is being said, but also to what is left unsaid or
only partially said. Effective listening involves observing body language and noticing
inconsistencies between verbal and non-verbal messages.

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.

2. Prepare Yourself to Listen


Relax. Focus on the speaker. Put other things out of mind. The human mind is easily
distracted by other thoughts – what‘s for lunch, what time do I need to leave to catch my
train, is it going to rain – try to put other thoughts out of mind and concentrate on the
messages that are being
communicated.

3. Put the Speaker at Ease


Help the speaker to feel free to speak. Remember their needs and concerns. Nod or
use other gestures or words to encourage them to continue. Maintain eye contact but
don‘t stare – show you are listening and understanding what is being said.

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.

LM – HILOT WELLNESS MASSAGE/GRADE 10 18


TANZA NATIONAL TRADE SCHOOL
GRADE TECHNICAL-VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT
10 SPTVE- HILOT WELLNESS MASSAGE

7. Avoid Personal Prejudice


Try to be impartial. Don't become irritated and don't let the person‘s habits or
mannerisms distract you from what they are really saying. Everybody has a different
way of speaking - some people are for example more nervous or shy than others, some
have regional accents or make excessive arm movements, some people like to pace
whilst talking – others like to sit still. Focus on what is being said and try to ignore styles
of delivery.

8. Listen to the Tone


Volume and tone both add to what someone is saying. A good speaker will use both
volume and tone to their advantage to keep an audience attentive; everybody will use
pitch, tone and volume of voice in certain situations – let these help you to understand
the emphasis of what is being said.

9. Listen for Ideas – Not Just Words


You need to get the whole picture, not just isolated bits and pieces. Maybe one of the
most difficult aspects of listening is the ability to link together pieces of information to
reveal the ideas of others. With proper concentration, letting go of distractions, and
focus this becomes easier.

10. Wait and Watch for Non-Verbal Communication


Gestures, facial expressions, and eye-movements can all be important. We don‘t just
listen with our ears but also with our eyes – watch and pick up the additional information
being transmitted via non-verbal communication.

LO2.4 NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION

What is body language?

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,

LM – HILOT WELLNESS MASSAGE/GRADE 10 20


TANZA NATIONAL TRADE SCHOOL
GRADE TECHNICAL-VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT
10 SPTVE- HILOT WELLNESS MASSAGE

expressions, and mannerisms to communicate nonverbally, often done instinctively


rather than consciously. Whether you’re aware of it or not, when you interact with others,
you’re continuously giving and receiving wordless signals. All of your nonverbal
behaviors—the gestures you make, your posture, your tone of voice, how much eye
contact you make—send strong messages. They can put people at ease, build trust,
and draw others towards you, or they can offend, confuse, and undermine what you’re
trying to convey. These messages don’t stop when you stop speaking either. Even when
you’re silent, you’re still communicating nonverbally.

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.

Types of nonverbal communication

The many different types of nonverbal communication or body language include:

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.

TANZA NATIONAL TRADE SCHOOL
GRADE TECHNICAL-VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT
10 SPTVE- HILOT WELLNESS MASSAGE

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.

Nonverbal communication is mostly emotional in nature; that is to say that it is


spontaneous and cannot be faked. Having an awareness—or even a control—of the
seven aspects of nonverbal communication will give you an advantage in business
dealings when you understand the message behind the message. [CD0416]

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.

Segments in the Communication Process


The exchange of feelings and attitude in the communication process is known as
interpersonal communication.
- As the communication process continues, it becomes a communication cycle.

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.

Definition of Terms:

Workplace – a place where someone perform their tasks.

Safety – the condition of being protected from harm or other no desirable outcomes

LO3.2 Workplace and Policies and Procedures


Health and safety is about preventing any person sustaining injury, being harmed in any
way or becoming ill at work. It involves following correct, safe procedures and taking
every possible precaution to protect everyone in the workplace.

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.

Observe Health and Safety Procedures in Wellness Massage

Health and Safety Procedures in Wellness Massage


All health care practitioners must follow all public health and safety regulations to
ensure the protection and well-being of each patient. Massage therapists are no
exception. Client welfare is the foundation of an ethical and professional practice for the
massage practitioner. Creating and defending a secure environment for our clients to
receive treatment ultimately is based on the practitioners' routines in the clinic, office or
spa. These healthy habits prevent accidents from taking place.

Observe Policies and standards of the Workplace


Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations Applicable to the Massage/Beauty Therapist
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 this regulation covers
health, safety and welfare in the workplace. Workplace means any place where people
are employed or are self-employed; it includes the outdoor areas such as paths, etc.

Health issues under this Act include:


A.) Adequate Ventilation Premises must be well ventilated, removing stale air and
drawing in fresh clean air without draughts.
B.) Comfortable Working temperature

LM – HILOT WELLNESS MASSAGE/GRADE 10 31


TANZA NATIONAL TRADE SCHOOL
GRADE TECHNICAL-VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT
10 SPTVE- HILOT WELLNESS MASSAGE

It is difficult to select the temperature to suit everybody: around 16°C is recommended.


The temperature should be comfortable for working but the client will usually be inactive
and may feel cold; make sure that she/he is also warm enough.
E) Waste
Waste must be stored in suitable, covered bins and disposed of in accordance with
regulations. Disposable needles must be placed in a ‗sharps box‘ for collection.
F) Adequate Space for Working Cubicles containing a couch, trolley, chair, stools and
waste bin should be large enough for the therapist and client to move around easily.
There should be adequate space for all staff to move around easily in the salon without
having to negotiate obstacles.
G. Maintenance of Equipment
Everything in the workplace, the equipment and systems, should be maintained in
efficient working order. If a fault occurs in any machine or other equipment, it must be
taken out of use immediately. It must be clearly labelled ‗FAULTY, OUT OF USE ‘and
stored away from the working area. The fault must be reported, and the appropriate
action taken to repair it.

H. Floors and Traffic Routes


a. Floors should be sound and even, with a non-slippery surface and must be kept free
of obstacles. Any spillages such as water, oil, powder etc, should be wiped up
immediately because they will make the floor slippery, which may result in someone
slipping and falling.
b. Doors should be wide enough for easy access and exit; stairs should be sound and
well lit. A handrail should be provided on at least one side of the stairs.

Falls and Falling Objects


a. Every effort must be made to prevent anyone falling on the premises.
b. Sound, even, non-slip floors will help. Leads should not trail across the floor but
should lie along the wall; stools and bins should be stored under couches; other
equipment must not be left around but must be stored correctly.

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.

K) Sanitary Conveniences Toilets and washing facilities should be available to all


persons. These rooms should be clean (cleaned and disinfected regularly), well lit and
ventilated. There should be hot and cold running water, soap (preferably in a
dispenser), and drying facilities such as paper towels or dry air machines (to prevent the
spread of micro-organisms).
L. Drinking Water
An adequate supply of fresh drinking water must be provided, either direct mains water,
a chilled water dispenser or bottled water.
M) Changing Rooms
These rooms must be clean, suitable and secure, where outer garments can be
removed and uniforms put on. Changing rooms are also desirable for clients although
the cubicles too may be used if privacy for the user can be ensured.

Facilities for Resting and Eating


Food and drink should not be consumed in the treatment cubicles or in the salon. A
clean room should be allocated for eating. Adequate comfortable chairs should be
provided as well as a table or tables on which to place food and drink.

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.

that facilitates their use.
5. Seiketsu (standardize) – this is a process for maintaining the seiri, seiton,

occurring. It is also a process for keeping your workplace clean by classifying

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

The six main functions of the skeletal system


- Support - provides structural support for the entire body.
- Protection- surrounds soft tissue
- Movement - skeletal muscle is attached to bone so it pulls on the
bone when it contracts.
- Homeostasis - is the process which the body is able to maintain a
state of stable physiological balance or basically maintain
equilibrium.
- Blood cell production
- Storage of minerals

Muscular System - It is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac


muscles.
It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the
body.
The muscular system is responsible for the movement of the human body. The number
of muscles in our body varies from around 640 to 850.

Parts of the Muscular System


The muscles of the body are divided into three main types:
Skeletal muscle - This type of muscle creates movement in the body.
Cardiac muscle is involuntary muscle. This type makes up the walls of the heart and
creates the steady, rhythmic pulsing that pumps blood through the body from signals
from the brain.
Smooth muscle makes up the walls of hollow organs, respiratory passageways, and
blood vessels. Its wavelike movements propel things through the bodily system.
Without muscle, humans could not live. The primary job of muscle is to move the bones
of the skeleton, but muscles also enable that heart to beat and constitute the walls of
other important hollow organs.

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
