A caring therapist wants to provide you with what you want.  If you are unsure of what that is, a caring therapist will utilize your health history intake to propose avenues of approach that – based on your feedback -  may be most suitable for your specific needs.  Furthermore, a good therapist has intuition, meaning an innate ability to find “a spot” or an area on the body and apply just the right amount of pressure.  A good therapist is also adaptable.  No two clients are the same, therefore each massage must be tailored to suit each individual.  Most importantly a caring therapist enters each massage without an ego.  By this I mean the therapist must listen to the client and provide the type of massage that has been communicated and adequately address the areas that have been specified by the client during the pre-massage interview.  Finally a caring therapist knows that they are not “the therapist” for every person or occasion, and that’s ok.
