to work for 8-9 hours a day in front of the computer screen and the have to do
the household work also. The household work is causing extensive burden on her
as she get really tired after working at the office. The work has different shifts in
night and day time. On work load days she has to work on Sundays also that
gives her no time to rest and relax. She takes 6-7 hours of sleep a day but due to
the burnouts she finds it difficult to sleep at nights as the body is extremely tired
of doing the work whole day. The stress level has increase due the work load in
the office and home. She likes to go to parks for walk in weekends. She takes
three times meals a day the timing can vary depending upon the work load. She
likes to eat healthy food. She is healthy and suffer with nothing and have no
medications going on. This makes the treatment easy for the application on her.

I am going to give my client a treatment of six body parts. She asked me to
apply little less pressure on the chest and the neck as she is sensitive on these
parts.

The first treatment is going to be done on the chest, head and neck. The second
treatment is going to be done on the arms, back and legs in suppinal position.
TREATMENT 1: CHEST, NECK AND HEAD
I started the treatment on my client by taking the chest massage and start the
effleurages for three times going from the sternum to her pectorals. I continue
with easy movement on her to become more relax and comfortable. I continue
the massaging the shoulders and the deltoids. I asked the client to turn her head
sidewise to get her eras to massage. I continued to sweep my hands on the back
of her ears and on the trapezius while pushing the down the shoulders. I did this
three times on her. I found it very difficult to move my hands on the face of the
client as the movements are hard in the prayers effleurages. I do it for three
times. Then I continue with the circular kneading on her cheeks that is liked by
her very much. I used by fingers to make circular trails around her eyes to make

the knuckling. I work on the sacrum with my thumbs and then I start to knead
over the rhomboids while placing arms of my client on the back to make the
