Are you uncertain about a client's intentions?

💢 "Don't worry about draping".
💢 Asking you personal questions.
💢 They give off a "creepy vibe".

All these things alone may be unnerving, but not necessarily a reason to end the massage and fire the client.
Avoid these awkward situations by being upfront with your intentions from the start.
Use the Respect Massage logo on your intake form. "This practice is a member of Respect Massage. We are taking a stand and putting an end to the sexual solicitations of massage therapists. This practice has a zero tolerance policy."
Verbally go over this policy (or write one that works for your practice) with every single client.
Be upfront and clear. If you are unclear after that, review the policy with the client again.

Causing the SCM, scalenes and other cervical extensors tight and weaken the deep neck flexors and lower cervical muscles.
If not treated and addressed could turn out as a hump in the thoracic spine and no real range of motion in your neck later on in life.

Chiropractic adjustments as well as massage therapy, work great hand in hand. To keep spine and joints in alignment helps relieve tension in the muscles and the massage therapy will release any restrictions or left over tension.
I have a few great recommendations for chiropractic care; if anyone loves the work.

8 Reasons to Be Thankful for Massage Why are we thankful for massage? Let us count the ways!

Food For Thought:
As a massage therapist. I found clients who fear being undressed under sheets hold more unnecessary stress/tension and are not able to relax/release.
Therefore, having them bring in other attire if they're able (i.e. basketball shorts, loose t-shirts, etc) makes the session more effective and efficient.
