Massage Consultation Form

Understand your client’s needs

A great way to better understand your client’s needs is to have them fill out a health form. Having them fill out a health form can help you understand their health conditions and limitations. This can also help you create a massage treatment plan suited to their specific needs. For example, some individuals may be at risk for blood clots due to high blood pressure, broken blood vessels, or varicose veins. This can increase the risk of getting a blood clot when receiving a massage. Having a massage consultation form filled out after this also shows that the client is aware that this might occur and cannot say that you did not warn them beforehand.

The Treatment Itself

The type of massage you’re providing can also affect the massage consultation. For example, if you’re providing a relaxing massage, you may only need to discuss the client’s specific needs and expectations. However, if you’re providing a more intense massage, such as a deep tissue massage, you may want to discuss additional factors, such as discomfort and pain. Your client may be experiencing discomfort or pain during the massage. This can be caused by tight muscles, knots, or tension. You may also feel areas that are more sensitive than others. During the massage consultation, inform your client that this might occur and discuss whether they are still comfortable with going ahead with it. You should then have them sign the massage consultation form to show you have discussed this.
