practical massage questions

[Ke13]

Hi all, i have done my theory and now brushing up my practical. I was wondering what sort of questions i would be asked by the examiner while i am trying to rememer my routine.

I am thinking anatomy, techniques, stances maybe????

Thanks

when I did my exam the examiner asked which muscles we were working on at the particular moment - I was working on the back at the time

Hi, I just got a list of q's off our tutor for what the examiner may ask...I am doing ITEC massage....

1. What is the benefit of that movement?
2. When do we use that movement?
3. What are the general contraindications to massage?
4. What are the specific contraindications to that area?
5. What are the contraindications to the movement?
6. What muscles are you working over?
7. How can you detect a tense/tired muscle? What has caused this tension?
8. Why is a good knowledge of A&P relevant to massage?
9. What are the effects of massage?
10. Why is it necessary to do a thorough consultation before massage?
11. when doing a consultation, if you discovered a client was nervous - what would you do?
12. where is the problem area of your clients back?
13. what muscles are involved?
14. what movements would you do to alleviate this tension?
15. how would you approach a client with a lumbar back pain?
16. what would you do if a client:
- fainted?
- had a nose bleed?
- felt sick?
- felt dizzy during a massage?
17. What is the history of massage?
18. What bones are you working over?
19. Name the major lymph nodes.

Hi easylifer

My practical exam went by in a bit of a blur (I was 7 months pregnant at the time!) but I do remember being asked about the location of lymph nodes.

HTH

I have my exams next week, Theory on tues and prectical on thurs. Slightly panicing at the moment! I was wondering if anyone got any questions that they were suprised at. Everytime i finish one section of revision i realise that it links to another, I'm never gonna stop revising at this rate!!!

hi,
one girl was asked the difference between holistic and swedish massage...another girl was asked what she would do if a client came into for a massage during her lunch break from work.... when she asked about the muscles she asked their actions too.... she asked me 'tell me about that movement'....
and don't forget to cover your client when the examiner is talking with you....
the rest of the questions she asked the class were as above....best of luck.I know it's nerve racking...

We've been told to keep going with the massage when the examiner is talking to us, to carry on with the treatment, not to covet them up.

ah ok....it was different for us....i forgot to cover the client anyway...the examiner caught me off gaurd....but she told the other girls to do it after I had forgotten....
