Have a Calm and Positive Attitude<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Your clients come to you to feel relaxed and to help them escape from their problems and worries. It&#8217;s best to leave your own troubles at home so that you can really focus on helping your clients in the best way possible.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/beautiful-girl-doing-yoga-asanas-near-the-sea_t20_x6Zo29-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"10 Tips To Becoming A Top Rated Mobile Massage Therapist\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Look_Clean_and_Professional\"><\/span>2. Look Clean and Professional<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>No one wants their massage therapist looking sloppy and messy. Make sure you always look professional; shower, wear deodorant, put on fresh clothes, and have a general overall tidy appearance before seeing clients.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Establish_Good_Communication\"><\/span>3. Establish Good Communication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It&#8217;s best to ask the client exactly what they&#8217;re looking for in their massage at the very beginning. If you establish communication early, you will know what they expect to get out of the massage, and they will feel more comfortable speaking up if the pressure is too much\/little during the treatment.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Arrive_Early\"><\/span>4. Arrive Early<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Everyone has busy lives. If you show up early and have everything set up and ready to start right on the requested appoitment time, it shows the clients that you respect their time. And, it will help you be able to get to your next appointment on time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/bed-bedroom-white-time-clock-sleep-deadline-alarm-clock-wake-wake-up_t20_oR7mZW-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"10 Tips To Becoming A Top Rated Mobile Massage Therapist\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\"><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Keep_the_Talking_to_a_Minimum\"><\/span>5. Keep the Talking to a Minimum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to maintain professionalism throughout the appointment. It&#8217;s good to avoid talking too much or asking questions that may be deemed too personal (e.g. what star signs they are, anything about politics, etc).<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Never_Use_Your_Phone_During_A_Massage\"><\/span>6. Never Use Your Phone During A Massage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This may seem like an obvious one, but not all therapists follow this rule. When you&#8217;re distracted by your phone you can&#8217;t focus fully on the client, and it&#8217;s likely they&#8217;ll notice. It&#8217;s very unprofessional. If your focus is elsewhere, it makes the client feel like they&#8217;re not getting what they paid for.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Keep_Clients_Warm_and_Comfortable\"><\/span>7. Keep Clients Warm and Comfortable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>As you know, massage can lower blood pressure which makes the body colder. Make sure the client stays completely covered and warm throughout the entire massage so that they can focus on your wonderful work instead of how cold they are.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Cover_Clients_Eyes\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22498 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2423636-1-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"10 Tips To Becoming A Top Rated Mobile Massage Therapist\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2423636-1-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2423636-1-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2423636-1-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2423636-1-600x403.jpg 600w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2423636-1-400x269.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2423636-1.jpg 1136w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>8. Cover Client&#8217;s Eyes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>When you flip the client into the supine position, cover their eyes. They&#8217;ve just been laying face down with their eyes closed, and the light will seem even brighter once they&#8217;ve been flipped on to their back. Also, it can be a distraction if they&#8217;re focusing on keeping their eyes closed instead of the relaxation.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Make_Sure_Your_Equipment_is_in_Good_Shape\"><\/span>9. Make Sure Your Equipment is in Good Shape<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to look professional when going into someone&#8217;s home, this includes your equipment. You must have a sturdy table that&#8217;s in good condition. Ensure that the towels\/sheets are always clean, smelling nice, and matching in colour. It&#8217;s good to have a small speaker to make the music louder and clearer instead of playing from your phone. To maintain the client&#8217;s privacy and make them comfortable, use larger towels or sheets ensure the clients stay completely covered. Provide a blanket in the winter so the clients do not get cold.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Dont_Ask_for_High_Ratings\"><\/span>10. Don&#8217;t Ask for High Ratings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>No one likes being solicited for a high rating. It&#8217;s best to simply provide great service and leave the client happy so that they want to give you 5 Stars. Try to go above and beyond to make the experience special. Offer a choice of unscented or scented oil. Or, light a scented candle to create a nice atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/body-care-in-salon-and-at-home-with-essential-oils-organic-relaxation-health-body-care-aromatherapy_t20_XQ1ReR-1024x661.jpg\" alt=\"10 Tips To Becoming A Top Rated Mobile Massage Therapist\" width=\"1024\" height=\"661\"><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]Establishing yourself as a respectable professional in this industry will ensure your success.
