Basalt stones and marble were used at the correct temperature A visualisation technique was used to help her to relax and I performed techniques designed to wake up the chakras I wrapped the largest of the hot basalt stones in one layer of towelling and placed this over the client's sacral region. I proceeded to carry out the full massage routine adapting appropriately and paying particular attention to the nodules and adhesions apparent in her upper back. I performed closing techniques to end the treatment. The client was given a glass of water to drink whilst discussing the after care advice. Client feedback: My client said she felt extremely relaxed and very sleepy. She thoroughly enjoyed the warmth of the treatment and would definitely have the treatment again 2 After/Home care advice given: Advised the client to attend a further treatment in one week's time and continue with weekly treatments for the next 3 sessions then reassess the situation. I advised the client that in the short term she may experience a change in mood, but that this would even out over the next 24-48 hours. Additionally, the body may try to eliminate waste, so this was outlined to the client. I explained that she may feel worse before she feels better, again this reaction is not uncommon, I suggested that if she is working on the computer she tries to take small breaks Relaxation is important for the rest of the day Drink approximately 3-4 glasses of water and preferably no alcohol Student’s/Therapist’s Signature………………………………………….
