Informed Isn’t the Same as Correct
When the opportunity presents itself, educate your clients about fascia in a way that’s relatable. Learn how to explain it so they can understand.
Speak Your Mind: Do You Offer Face Massage?
We polled massage therapists via social media on their opinion on offering face massage. Here's what they said.
“[Yes.] I’m a massage therapist and also a licensed esthetician. Lately, there’s been an increase in my massage clients requesting scalp and face massages.”
—Fe Ponce
“Definitely!”
—Red Jacket Massage Therapy
“The face is part of the body, therefore I massage it every time. I start on the face.”
—Nina Dropcho Massage
“It depends. The client has to request it, unless they talk about headaches, TMJ issues, or tightness in jaw. Then I suggest facial massage.”
—Lisa Weber
“Always, unless declined. People are surprised how much tension they have in their scalp.”
—Rebecca Jochum and Essentially Healthy
