Should you book with a male or female massage therapist?

Need a massage therapist at short notice? After a mobile massage or clinic massage and you have a choice of male or female massage therapist? If you are not concerned about the gender of your therapist then go with the male. Why – because on average practising male massage therapists are better than practising female therapists. Obviously recommendations or researching the skills of possible therapists is a better way to select a therapist who is likely to be a good…

Face Up First ?

Face Up First ?

My general approach regarding massage is to start with the client lying face down on the table and turn them onto their back during the session so that they finish lying face up. Occasionally this may change (eg for athletes with lower limb issues I may begin by working on their quadriceps/hip flexors) but for most of the normal issues that clients present then I start with them face down. For me there are a number of advantages and reasons…

Massage and Cupping

Massage and Cupping

There has been a lot of chatter amongst massage therapists over the past week regarding the appearance of cupping marks on Michael Phelps during the Olympics. Cupping, for those who are not familiar with the technique is a form of alternative therapy where suction is locally applied on the skin using a vacuum generated within a cup. Check out the wiki page on cupping here The supporters of cupping have been quick to jump up and down at the potential…

Sydney Clinic Massage

Whilst I only offer mobile massage in Sydney, I know for some people that having a massage at home is just not an option. For example, there may not be enough room, privacy may be an issue, there may not be parking available for me or you may not just be comfortable having a stranger in your home. I occasionally get calls from people who are not aware that I’m only available for home or Sydney hotel massage and there…

No place for body shaming on my massage table

No place for body shaming on my massage table

A common topic discussed in social media massage groups is that of the body-shaming of clients. Whilst, in theory, it should be an absolute no-no for a therapist to make comments that could be perceived as body-shaming, the reality is that it happens far too often. Body-shaming comments made by therapists may refer to a client’s weight, physical appearance, skin condition, body hair, grooming, age, tattoos, etc. Usually these comments are genuinely innocent or well-intentioned but the reality is that…

How often should you have a massage?

How often should you have a massage?

A recent poster in a massage Facebook group started a discussion about excuses clients use not to rebook after an appointment. A few people gave their ‘best’ examples before the discussion turned a little on the original poster and asked him the questions Why should people need to have an excuse? Why should they be prodded into booking an appointment that may or may not be appropriate for their needs, their time schedule or their budget? As one responder put…

Google Adwords for Massage Therapists

Google Adwords for Massage Therapists

Advertising using Google Adwords can be effective but many massage therapists are nervous as Adwords can become a money pit for the unwary. Because adwords can eat through any advertising budget in no time at all so in my view, it is better to show your ads to too few clients than too many. These are a few tips based on my experience with Adwords. I’m sure other therapists would have different points of view. Make sure that you use…

What your Mobile Massage Therapist wants you to know

What your Mobile Massage Therapist wants you to know

Typically these articles include points such as: We don’t care about stubble on your legs. Makes no difference to us whether you have shaved your legs or not We are there to massage you – not judge your body. Most of us have some insecurities about aspects of our body – a massage table is a place of refuge where you can feel…

Funny Massage Story#1

I’ve been a mobile therapist for quite a while and as a mobile therapist going into people’s homes things don’t necessarily go smoothly all the time. Pets, kids, visitors, distractions, tvs can all modify my ideal image of how a home massage should go. Most of the time all is well in the land of the Sydney mobile massage client, they are happy and relaxed at the end of their massage. Most of the time all is well in the…
