Handouts for Clients - Home Care

Sometimes a client will benefit from self-care at home - either with the goal of decreasing their pain level, increasing their flexibility, or maybe just helping to relieve chronic tension in a specific area.

Here are some resources for massage therapists who are looking for “handouts” to give to their clients.

  • The book ‘Maintaining Body Balance Flexibility and Stability’ by Leon Chaitow not only helps massage therapists in their practice, but also has several handout sheets that can be photocopied (permission is given!) and sent home with clients. A great resource for massage therapists!
  • Massage Therapy Practice Website - This stretch index has several handouts that can be printed off and given to clients who are concerned with tension in the specific area: back of the neck, hip flexors, shoulders, etc.

I've been published!

It's official! I've sold an article about Massage Intake Procedures to Massage and Bodywork Magazine - the publication of Association of Massage and Bodywork Professionals.

I'm very excited to be a part of this excellent magazine. It's one I've been subscribed to for years myself. My article will appear in the November/December issue and will be my first print publication.

New Spa Treatments for Southeast Oklahoma!

Who knew that Atoka County would have herbal body wraps, mud masks and seaweed body coccoons? Not I! And yet I have just begun offering these things at the shop and am THRILLED. I have so many clients with a wide variety of massage and relaxation needs that it's really nice to be able to expand my menu of options.

So not only do I have those rehabilitating for muscular injuries and range of motion problems/chronic pain problems who come in for deep tissue massage sessions - but now I also have some wonderful clients who want a head, neck and shoulders massage with hair strengthening head mask and facial massage! Lovely!

Never a boring moment when you're offering professional massages in Caney, Oklahoma.
