Hello massage nurse today I'm going to be doing a video

on how to interview a client on tips on how to interview a client

and it was one of my students that asked me

so this was for you Miguel to me the most important question

that you ask a client you know

when you first start interviewing them is have you ever had a massage before

because that way it'll tell you how much time you're going to need to spend doing a little bit more explanation.

So once I get that out of the way,

then I know, okay, so instead of having,

if they've had a massage before,

then I only need three minutes to explain things to them.

But if they've never had a massage before,

then I'm going to need a little bit of extra time.

And that's another thing that it differs.

If you're self-employed, like, you know,

I've been for 33 years,

I can usually set, you know,

half an hour in between my clients 15 minutes to for the interview

but if you work for a chain or a spa

or you know you work for somebody else you might not have

that luxury so make sure

that your questions are precise it's best not to ask open-ended

questions like don't say uh does your back hurt once they

tell you you know uh their backers does your back hurt

say can you tell me more about where you feel the pain.

Ask them more elaborate questions where they have to give you an explanation so that way you can find out more.

And you always want to do some reflective listening.

Reflective listening is really very important especially for those of you that work for somebody else and I'll explain to you why.

Because you can always document that you ask your client.

Let's say somebody comes in and they tell you,

you know, my shoulder hurts.

And you go, tell me more about your shoulder hurting.

You go, well, they tell you,

well, it hurts when I shampoo my hair.

And then you reflective listening to them will be,

oh, so let me understand this.

If I understand this correctly,

every time you raise your arm to shampoo or to do anything that extends your arm,

it hurts and then they agree.

And then you say, okay,

would you like for me to spend 10 minutes extra on your shoulder and take away maybe from another area?

And if they agree and say yes, then you document that

because I've had students let me know that clients complained

that they didn't give them a full body massage or

that they didn't spend enough time you know somewhere else but

if you reflective listening if you were reflective listening to them

and giving them back the information where they have to agree with you not

that they have to agree with you I shouldn't say that

but you know where they do agree with you then you can document

that and you you're covering yourself so it's always important to speak clearly you know

and straight so that way you know exactly what you're going to do

and you explain to them what you're going to do

and they're going to agree and

that way you know you're more clear on what you're going to do during

that 50 minutes some I know some some spas

or some chains only work 50 minutes or if it's an hour

if you're a private you know and you want to go extra,

make sure you clear all that up before your client gets on the table.

One of the reasons that I like to start supine is

because they're face up and you can see their facial expressions and they might want to talk a little bit.

They might want to interact a little bit more with you.

And it's better when, you know,

when they're supine than when they're prone.

When they're prone, it's difficult to hear what they're saying and it's difficult for them to talk.

So, like I said, that's one of the reasons why I start supine

and because I always like to do the neck and shoulders and relax that area first and then go to the,

you know, to the face before you go to the feet.

So, another thing

that you must is ask the client before they lay on the table do you have any questions

that way you open the door like

if it's a first-time client you know maybe there's something

that you didn't answer for them

and they might need to you know to ask you now and it creates that communication because communication

and trust is so important, especially with returning clients.

However, if you work in a spa or in an airport where you're never going to see that client again,

you know, I've heard that too.

You know, I have a lady from Jamaica that she says,

you know, she only sees those clients one time,

you know, and that's it.

So find out what they want,

what they're expecting out of the massage,

and then explain to them what you believe,

how the massage is going to help them.

I always tell my clients realistically,

you know, I believe like if they have an injury,

realistically, you know, I believe that you're probably going to need to come back two

or three times before you start feeling better.

And, you know, if they're in for a relaxation massage,

you know, massage should be relaxing.

So I suggest, you know,

that you kind of tune in and

take deep breaths and relax

and you know it's like you want to give feedback to your client about what you

and how you feel and what you believe in massage can do for them

because you're planting seeds you know you're re maybe even re-educating you know some beliefs

that they might have that maybe you can clear up some of those questions for them

but like I said always at the end

and make sure that you speak clearly

and tell them what you're going to do and how you're going to accommodate to better service them.

100

And I also want to talk like if you were the client,

101

you know, if you are the client or you know your clients,

102

you know, this happened 20 years ago to me

103

and it was the best thing I've learned from my clients I had a couple

104

that just moved in from from Austin to to El Paso and they scheduled

105

three massages with three different massage therapists and

106

when they came in with me they told me you know we're interviewing massage therapists

107

and we want to pick the best one because you're going to be part of our budget.

108

You know, we're going to put aside every month to come see you.

109

And like I said, it was a couple.

110

So it was, you know, it's an expense.

111

She says, you know, this is part of our expense for,

112

you know, going to the,

113

for our budget to go to the dentist or the optometrist or,

114

you know, whatever health appointments they may have, chiropractor.

115

So to me, it's so important for clients to interview different massage therapists.

116

There is nothing

117

wrong with that you know clients should be knowing more about you especially

118

if it's going to be a long-term relationship they should be able to interview different massage therapists

119

and you should go with somebody you feel comfortable with somebody you connect with

120

and you know some clients like to talk a lot some clients don't

121

and as a as a therapist you must stay you know

122

within the comfort level of the client you know don't promote

123

any talking once they're you know to the contrary promote them being quiet

124

so they can go within so anyway I could go on talking forever about this

125

so I just wanted to give you these tips again you

126

know first question have you ever had a massage before

127

and then do the medical history

128

and then do the interview always reiterate you know reflective listen you know

129

that you were listening to what their needs are

130

and then at the end right before they get on the

131

table tell them you know are you okay with me doing x y

132

and z

133

and ask them have you ever do you have any questions do you have any questions for me

134

so i hope this helps till the next time create a great day

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
