The main work of a massage therapist is to apply various techniques to specific parts of the body, such as pressure, rubbing, and stretching, in order to achieve the purpose of relaxing muscles and nerves, relieving pain, and relaxing the mind and body.
In simple terms, a massage therapist's daily work generally includes:
• Reception and consultation: Understand the main complaints, work and living habits of guests/patients, and do basic checks and recording.
• Design and implement a tuina plan: Choose meridians, acupoints, and appropriate techniques according to the situation, and perform tuina on the whole body or locally, such as neck and shoulder, waist and back, upper limb, lower limb, etc.
• Relevant therapeutic support: Some positions may include cupping, moxibustion, acupuncture, heat therapy, stretching or simple rehabilitation exercises.
• Process safety and hygiene: Pay attention to the force and angle of operation, avoid injury, and keep the equipment and bed sheets/towels clean and hygienic.
• Observation and follow-up: Pay attention to the customer's immediate reaction, suggest appropriate treatment frequencies, and refer to a doctor or Chinese medicine practitioner if necessary.
