The Pre Massage Assessment

 

 

 

An assessment will identify factors that may have caused or contributed to a condition or injury. This diagram shows the main areas that will be examined when assessing a client. The assessment is carried out during the first appointment and repeated when necessary during a course of treatment.

The examination of these important areas will contribute to a picture of any stress patterns and dysfunction within the various structures of the body. Where there has been a prolonged problem in one area of the body, other areas may also be affected as a result.

From this assessment, strategies for effective treatment can be considered and discussed.
