Open communication is huge in massage therapy as well as in your relationships, anything in life. So be open. Don't go in there thinking, I'm the massage therapist, I know what's best for you, so let me do my job. Instead, go in there saying, yes, I am the massage therapist, I'm going to do my best, but I want you to communicate with me what feels good, what doesn't, like what you want done differently. Just be open to what their needs are Another tip for success is to don't think that you know it all of what you've learned in school because there are so many other things out there. Be open to learning and to just criticism of what you can do better because that's what's going to help you do better. If you just keep doing what you're doing, then you're not going to learn and you're not going to grow. So be open to those things that you can do different and even forgetting some of the things that you learn in school because some of them aren't the greatest.
