4. Discussing Classroom Rules

Before we are going to start with our

formal discussion, let me first discuss to
you our classroom rules. So I think many
of you will ask me if why is it that we need
to follow classroom rules, right? Obviously,
if there is no classroom rules to follow,
everything will be in chaotic situation. First
rule is you have to pay attention while your
teacher is discussing or while your
classmate is speaking. Second, be
respectful. Avoid doing things that may
disrupt your teacher and classmates. If
you want to say something, just raise your
hand to speak. Next, always come to class
prepared to learn. It means that always
come to class with complete preparation
for learning. This includes taking all
important materials needed for the day like
notebooks, paper, pen, snacks and water.  Indicator 4

this is to check the alignment of muscles. So that’s
how you perform the effleurage.

more likely to make a person feel worse and will

aftercare services and advices. Why? Because you

D. Presentation

So class, this morning we are going to learn

about the Post advice and Post Services to clients
in a Wellness Massage. In wellness massage, you
should also know the products that you are using
or what services you are going to offer to your
client. That’s why this topic is very good and
interesting. So you have to listen. By learning the
content of this topic, you are expected to become a

or how to give post advices because a massage
therapy and a Physical Therapy has the same goal
which is to aid in healing, relieve pain and restore
function of the body. The only difference is that a
massage therapy is focusing on muscles and some
soft tissues of the body to help relieve the pain and
also the stress. While the physical therapy is part
of the treatment plan of the patient and can be
painful. Or even in nailcare, post advices are also
applicable because the maintenance of the
fingernails and toenails is important for health as
well as cosmetic reasons. In the same manner, you
are expected to be expert in identifying and
handling products, services, tools, and equipment.

post advices and post services to the
clients experienced right after the

healing reactions right after the massage. I
want you to make yourselves be familiar
with those manifestations so that you are

reactions of your clients right after the

urination

meal right after the massage so the body
can concentrate on healing process and
encourage detoxification.

Ok, so advice your client to rest and relax
after the treatment. There are many
techniques that may be used to encourage
the client to relax. These are the following:

the opportunity to stay contact with the
client. As what our English told us,
effective communication is important to
build and maintain good relationship with
each other. Third is professionalism.
Providing aftercare advices is an integral
part in providing service to the client. As
what our values teacher told us,
professionalism should not only be seen

appearance but it is the service we render
to our clientele.
