TIPS FOR TODAY
Ask any seasoned massage therapist and
they'll tell you the end of the hands-on part of
a session is much more than simply telling the
client the session is over. It's an opportunity to
bring closure to the work, to positively frame the
experience, and end on a soothing note that
makes the client want to come back
for more. Once you've developed
your own closing ritual, it can also
be a way to personalize your
service and make yourself
stand out from the crowd of
cookie-cutter massages.
We asked some MTs on staff at
ABMP what their closing rituals
are. Do you see any similarities
to your own? Do any inspire you
to put your own twist on them
and incorporate them into your
own sessions? Let us know! Drop
us an email at editor@abmp.com.
