Newly Massage Therapists Questions

We all have to start somewhere, and the way is not always clear. Here you can come and post your questions or concerns among other massage therapists. We are all here to help one another grow.

How do you deal with a repeat client who has hygiene issues consistantly?

I would provide wipes for the clients to freshen up if they like, and I would also utilize the warm towels. I am a student and I would like to know what you LMT have to say about this issue. Have this happened to you?

    If its the summer time (sandals and flip flop season!) I try to have baby wipes if I am going to be working on their feet, that helps a lot. Sometimes clients just have a body oder problem, and its not always that they are un-hygenic, it really helps to have some essential oils on hand that you could either spray around the room/put on the client, or (I do this all the time) swipe a little of the oil under your nose so you smell that. =]
