TREATMENT EVIDENCE
CLIENT PROFILE
My client works in a call centre and has a very busy lifestyle. He has to sit
straight in front of a computer with headphones on. He has a daily target to
achieve because of which his stress level is quite high. Not only this, due to
continuous sitting for long working hours on chair sometimes he suffers from
back or shoulder pain. From past one month he is having a night shift because of
which his daily routine including his sleeping, three times meal have got
disturbed. Due to this nowadays he mostly feels tired, due to high level of stress
he sometimes have headache, and shoulder or neck pain are consistent. He has
got no medical or physical condition that can restrict this message treatment.
TREATMENT PLAN
First treatment that I am going to give my client is head massage as it is one of
the best massages that can help in reducing stress, fatigue, headache. Second
treatment that I will provide to my client is of shoulder, arms and back massage
in order to relax his body and reduce shoulder and back pain of my client. Last
treatment I will give to my client is leg massage in order to reduce his fatigue.
TREATMENT
HEAD, NECK AND SHOULDER
This massage started by making client sit in sitting position fully dressed. I
started this massage by massaging sides of client head with three fingers with a
circular stroking movement. Then slowly I started mobbing my hand towards his
sculp and kneaded his head with both my hands and applied little pressure while
stroking his hairs. It helps in stimulating nerves and blood vessels which help
muscles to relax and tension around head get reduced. I continued giving tis
massage to client for 10 minutes then after 10 minutes I massaged five main
points of head in circular motion for fie sections each and then moved towards
neck. I used by thumb to move my mand downwards towards neck from centre
of head using both thumbs and continued this movement for about one minute.
After massaging neck slowly, I started massing blades of shoulder (scapula) of
both sides with both my hands. I started pressing both the sides of shoulder in

order to relax shoulder muscles for about five minutes. After five minutes of this
massage, I started moving my hand towards rhomboids and started kneading
rhomboids in circular motion. I finished this head and shoulder massage by
massaging whole head neck and shoulder with my palm for approximately three
time. This whole massage lasted for about 25 to 30 minutes.
BACK MASSAGE
I started this massage by spreading oil all over back of client. And massaged his
back with my palm by moving my hands in circular stroking movement. I moved
my hand from top of the back to his lower back circularly using palm for three to
four times. I glided my palm upwards in long direction. Then I started massaging
my clients back from bottom of his back and moved my hands slowly towards
top of his back applying gentle pressure and again brought my hands down
gently and slowly. I repeated this technique for about 5 minutes. In this I applied
pressure while moving upwards (blood flow direction) but did not apply any kind
of pressure when I moved my hands down. Then I used Petrissage technique in
which short circular strokes were done applying more pressure. It is a kind of
technique in which rolling and pressuring is done in shorter area in deep
circulation. This movement was started from sides and was done for about 5
minutes on both the sides of his back. When client was comfortable with this
massage I repeated this whole massage for about 10 minutes and ended with
smoothening his back.
POSTERIOR LEGS MASSAGE
First of all, I covered whole back of client with towel and then applied oil to his
left leg and used effleurages technique to massage his leg by applying a bit of
pressure to leg. I used those technique to hamstring of his left leg and
massaged his leg using both my hand for about 5 minutes. I used my hands to
massage his leg in circular movements. Then I moved my hand in circular
strokes by double hand picking to the back of his leg till knee. I ended up by
sliding my thumb through calf muscles of his leg to relax his leg.
I repeated this same massage method on his right posterior leg as well
ANTERIOR LEGS MASSAGE
I started this massage by applying oil on client’s left leg and using effleurage
technique I massaged his leg till his knee. I used this method to relax his muscles
and did it for three times. Then I used double hand picking method to massage
his quadriceps. Then I repeated my effleurage movement and massaged his
lower leg for about 3 minutes. Then I slowly moved my hand towards his foot and
pulled his leg figures slowly. Lastly, I ended up applying some pressure and
moving my hand upwards in circular motion, massaged his ankle in with fingers
in circular motion and finished with effleurages from top of the leg to toes.

in terms of shoulder pain and back pain. He said that the pressure applied was
perfect that he felt asleep during rest of the message session. He further added
that he would love to get another massage soon enough. At last, I asked by
client that whether he was aware that I was going through my notes from time to
time. He said he was very well aware of that and wanted to continue this
massage as he was feeling a bit relaxed.
HOMECARE ADVICE
I gave my client aftercare home care advice and advised him to drink plenty of
water, avoid alcohol or coffee for next 12 hours, stretch his body though yoga
and lastly get rest.
