We understand that screening clients is a legitimate concern. Over the years we have seen fewer and fewer problem clients for a variety of reasons. It starts with a very professional elite website, and continues with professional assertive customer service. Our representatives are very well trained in identifying red flags and will make it as clear as necessary in case there is any question that our services are strictly professional. We can not guarantee 1000% superb behavior from all clients, so we rely on our therapists to take responsibility for themselves, make ethical assessments and handle all situations professionally.

Massage, Skin & Body Treatment Contraindications All Therapist Should Fully Be Aware/Knowledgeable Of..

Massage is safe when it is performed with an understanding between both client and therapist. There are guidelines which I recommend are taken into account prior to performing a therapeutic massage. Please proceed with caution and be aware of symptoms, and remain present through out the massage.

Diabetes – Your client must stay well hydrated before during and after there treatment, this helps to make certain your blood sugars are controlled before the treatment. Clients may not delay a meal because of scheduling, question have they eaten something before going into there treatment so they do not become hypoglycemic during there massage, no  aromatherapy because it can get into the skin, you may ask do they have an ok  from their doctor to get massage

Pregnancy- If Treatment in to be given is deemed necessarily inappropriate for pregnant women, no aromatherapy

Facial Procedures- Being careful doing facials with clients who have recently had facial implants, juvederm, fillers such as botox, juvederm ultra, Lip Implants, recent facial piercings, facial surgeries, skin conditions.

Injury or inflammation of the muscle tissue – If the client has been present inflammation or swelling that has been present for more then 24h( redness, swelling, and is or hot to touch) do not massage that area, however if that area is contracted do to stress you may apply hot compress, (Proceed with Caution)

Broken bones: Stay away from an area of mending bones. A little light massage to the surrounding areas, though, can improve circulation and be quite helpful.

Fractured or Dislocated Bones- 1st aid and remit to a Doctor do not massage the area, with Doctors permit we can massage with rehabilitation( Proceed with Caution)

Flu or Cold- Do not Massage, If it is not a contagious condition, light massage of the hands and feet, face and or hand may alleviate discomfort.

Fever: When you have a fever, your body is trying to isolate and expel an invader of some kind. Massage increases overall circulation and could therefore work against your body’s natural defenses, this is caused because toxins can further be pushed into the skin

Varicose Veins, Water Retention or Bad Circulation – Do not massage directly over the varicosities. Proceed with caution as the pressure of the massage could dislodge possible blood clots, or injure tissue were the circulation is poor. Apply very soft pressure in the remaining parts of the body and (proceed with caution)

Contagious Skin Conditions – Do not massage the affected area. Conditions may spread to other parts of the body avoid open Sores, open Wounds.
Hernia: Hernias are protrusions of part of an organ (such as the intestines) through a muscular wall. It’s not a good idea to try to push these organs back inside.

High Blood Pressure – High blood pressure means excessive pressure against blood vessel walls. Massage affects the blood vessels, and so people with high blood pressure or a heart condition should receive light, sedating massages, if at all. ( Proceed with Caution)

PTSD – The event often includes physical and/or psychological harm to an individual or a loved one. Triggers of PTSD include violent personal assaults, natural or man-made disasters, accidents, or military combat. Post-traumatic stress is the inability to dissociate the trauma from the past and live without fear of the future. We cannot fully be aware of an individuals psychological state of mind, however as therapist if we use our knowledge and judgement we can effectively demonstrate that massage therapy eases suffering caused by this disorder and assists in the recovery process.

Intoxication From Drugs or Alcohol – Do not massage may induce alcohol poisoning

Cancer: Avoid massaging tumor or surrounding areas, apply light and even pressure and avoid lymph nodes. Because cancer can spread through the lymphatic system, and because massage increases lymphatic circulation, it may potentially spread the disease as well. Simple, caring touch is fine, but massage strokes that stimulate circulation are not. Always check with a doctor first.

HIV infection- Some people still think of AIDS as something that can be “caught” through simple skin-to-skin contact, but most of us know that’s not the case. If there is no exchange of bodily fluids (blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or mother’s milk), HIV can’t be transmitted during massage. So, HIV infection is not contraindicated for this reason. However, some of the infections that people suffering from the later stages of AIDS experience are contraindicated, and you should avoid those infections. Loving, soothing contact is extremely important for people at any stage of infection, but in the case of any visible rashes, sores, lesions, or swelling, massage is best left to a professional. If you have any cuts or scrapes or scratches on your hands, it’s an especially good idea to wear thin surgical gloves while massaging

Allergies- Allergic to any oils, creams, possible certain (linen washing powders)

Pacemaker- No Hot Stone Massage, little to no pressure over pace maker

Pain Killers, Blood Thinners- Less pressure. This may also depend on dosage.

Knee Replacements – No pulling/stretching on leg.

No Cranio work with recent brain surgery or aneurisms.

Heavy Medication- Lighter pressure or scaring can occur, google medications on smart phone

 

 

 

Meeting With New Consumers

1.) Maintain eye contact. Poor eye contact conveys dishonesty and nervousness. Proper eye contact will help you establish trust and rapport with the client.

2.) Maintain a professional appearance. Correct attire for your profession is recommended. Eminence Massage designates a specific “uniform.” Good hygiene cannot be overemphasized. Cologne and perfume should not be worn during treatment sessions. Some clients may either be allergic or object to the fragrance. First impressions are lasting. Offer to remove shoes especially if you are in a home setting and there is carpet.

3.) Keep the conversation light when first greeting the client. Be amiable and respectful.

4.) Observe the demeanor of the client. Some clients may be friendly and open, while others may act guarded and distant. Recognizing the difference can help you establish effective communication skills for each individual client. What may work for one client may not work for another. Remember that some clients may be coming to see are due to some painful issues.

5.) Respect the client’s cultural and religious customs. The United States today is more culturally diverse than ever. You can expect to treat clients who have originated from many different foreign lands. Although some customs and beliefs may seem strange to you, they are a vital part of many people’s lives from foreign countries.

6.) When interviewing the client, be sure to state your question clearly and precisely. Allow the client to answer at his or her own pace. Use reflective and active listening skills and focus your attention on the client’s response. Do not attempt to do other things in the room while the client is talking.

7.) When responding, address any concerns the client may have had respectfully and cordially. Remember to cater responses in the client’s necessities and area which require more focus. If client requires consultation of an existing treatment in the scopes of massage & spa therapy as an Eminence Massage professional you may address and treat the specific area or area as a whole. Refrain from practicing any treatment which you are not licensed and essentially trained or certified in.

Greeting Procedures:
