Wheelchair Massage

Wheelchair massage is convenient for the client who is in one. Places that are accessible to a wheelchair are almost everywhere. Manual and electric chairs and scooters are in the mall, at school, and in the workplace. You will get clients who are in them.

Some clients can get in and out easily but prefer not to and some cannot move themselves. Accommodate your clients in their chairs with seated massage.

If the client can lean forward a little, work as much of the back area as you can comfortably reach. If the client cannot lean forward, just massage as much of the back area as can be reached. Of course, the shoulders, arms, neck, and head will also be worked.

If you, as the therapist can comfortably kneel down in front of the seated client or at the side of him/her, you can work the feet and legs as well. Only do this if you are used to getting into this position and maintain it for just a few minutes. You do not want to injure yourself while trying to perform seated massage.

The client will appreciate your efforts and will be surprised at how thoroughly his/her body can be worked while in his/her own seat. You can be sure the client will tell friends and co-workers how you were able to give a massage without requiring the client to leave his seat.
