Ok so can I just say that I am having soooooo much fun in school right now. Monday we got to give our first facial massages and I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself. Although I really don't know but that's the word according to ClientX (insert evil music and laugh here because ClientX sounds so scary). ClientX was a mature individual with rather dry skin so I used an oil for their massage. We got to practice the five types of different massage techniques on them which are effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement and vibration.
Effleurage- soft slow relaxing movements applied with fingers and palms
Petrissage- stimulating the underlying tissue with kneading movements
Friction- rubbing movement
Tapotment- fast tapping movements
Vibration- is exactly what it sounds like
So yeah that's all the technical stuff. Now for the fun stuff. FIELD TRIP TO ULTA FRIDAY!!!!! *and then I hit my dougie*
