Massage Pathology Chronicles

Review of Mosby’s Pathology for Massage Therapists, by Salvo and Anderson. Within the course of Dr. Johnson.

While reading Chapter 2 I learned about client intake forms, and health assessments. While discussing with a new client the Intake form, some very important questions need to be asked. What medical problems do they suffer from such as; any sever muscular pain, any medical disease, any prescription medication, any skin issues, and then where is their main focus for the massage. Once all this and more information is found out, the therapist must adjust her routine accordingly. The client intake form is to always remain private and secure. The client must be able to trust the therapist with all this information.
