PLAN THE WELLNESS
PROGRAM OF CLIENTS
 What I Need to Know

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. Frequently, these are simple
techniques that most people just don't give attention to. How many times we
said or heard others say, "I don't have time to exercise" or "I don't have time
to relax?" Thus, a very important contributor to wellness is attitude: a thought
process that influences the way a person approaches dealing with life. This
motivated most of the health professionals focus on treating these ailments
and several wellness programs are being implemented in offices, hotels and
even schools respectively.

At the end of the module, you should be able to:

1. Identify the different types of massage;
2. Perform basic steps of massage therapy; and
3. Display confidence in doing the required task of massage therapy.

What is It

Massage therapists are trained to focus on the fact that the body is an
integrated organism and that in order to treat a person effectively, we must look at
the whole picture. This includes not only the physical symptoms but also the way
other factors such as lifestyle, diet, and activity level relate back to the changes we
are seeing in the body. When deciding how to treat a client, therapist must focus on
restoring balance to the system. Gathering as much information as possible about
the client so we can see how the body has changed its function and work to correct
the system.

Identifying the Vital Information of the Client

you need to cancel or change an appointment or for any other reason. They will
also enable you to seek advice from his/her doctor should this be necessary.

 Status
 Home and work telephone numbers
 Occupation
 Doctor’s name, address and telephone number

  Vital signs/BP Temperature
2. Massage Analysis - these details will again highlight contra-indications that will
indicate whether massage would be suitable for the client. They will also provide
information regarding the client’s previous experience of massage. Did he/she find
it beneficial: are there any preferences, likes and dislikes that should be recorded.

 Contra-indications
 Has client received massage in the past?
 How long ago?

3. 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; he/she 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.

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 a client suffers from a condition that is an absolute contra-indication,
then massage must not be given.

The 5S Methodology
It is important to consider safety measures in the work place. It is an essential
factor in a good safety program, promoting safety, health production and morale.
Good housekeeping saves space, time and materials. A Japanese company innovated
a productivity philosophy called “5S”. It is all about eliminating waste, speeding up
daily tasks, and improving the quality of the work place.

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 of keeping everything in the workplace clean.
Always keep equipment in full working order so that it can be used at any
time.
4. Seiton – (systemize) – this is a process of sorting tools and parts in an order
that facilitates their use.
5. Seiketsu – (standardized) – 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.

Wellness Massage Services and Products

 Massage theory and techniques are sometimes taught in isolation, especially
in the early portions of a massage training program. Students focus on one skill at a
time and then put them all together into an organized whole. Alternately, you may
have completed your massage training program so that you can focus on
specialization in spa therapies. In either case, it is helpful to preview the big picture
to better understand where and how different skills are used during a wellness
massage session – the type of massage session often offered at spas.

 People need wellness massage to decrease stress, promote relaxation, support

the body’s natural restorative mechanisms, and have an enjoyable experience
that leaves the body feeling refreshed and revitalized.

caused by activities such as weekend athletics or by unusual work stress.

Some of the services that may be offered in a wellness massage:

alleviating pain by applying pressure or massaging certain points on the body
surfaces. According to history, some 5000 years ago, the Chinese discover that

able to discover the acupuncture/acupressure points.

fingers

used form of massage used for relaxation. Swedish affects the more superficial

grain of muscles, tendons and fascia. It can be used for specific work or full
body.

8
 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.

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.

may utilize reflexology. Swedish massage or very light shiatsu.
