Quarter 4 – Module 1
Performing Massage Care Advice
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
In hope of slowing down the spread of CoViD-19, the DepEd had decided to
have an alternative learning aside from the face-to-face approach to education since it is
already losing its relevance in this time of crisis. Thus, this module was designed and written
for learning at home. It is here to help you master the nature of Wellness Massage. The scope
of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations and we encourage
you not to stop learning but must adapt to the new types of learning modality.
This is the first module of the fourth quarter in TLE: Wellness Massage 10. This
is specifically crafted to hone your skills to be a successful massage therapist. It focuses on
the competency which is to perform massage care advice. An effective massage therapist
is equipped with the practical knowledge and skills of wellness massage services. Learning
the competencies of this lesson will prepare you for future employment, higher education, and
wellness massage business. Furthermore, you can also apply the knowledge and skills
acquired from this module to improve your personal well-being. it is a life skill that is timely
and relevant in this time of pandemic.
At the end of the module, you are expected to:
recognize and analyze the roles of a massage therapist in performing the proper
massage care advice;
create a poster that gives proper massage care advice in Wellness Massage; and
develop a sense of responsibility in performing massage care advice.

Check your answer from the answer key to determine if you’ve learned
from the previous lesson.
The previous modules brought and taught you the main groups of massage
strokes: EFFLEURAGE, PETRISSAGE, FRICTION, TAPOTEMENT, and VIBRATION.
Learning these are indispensable to achieve the standard set by the industry of wellness
massage. As a young learner who dreams of acquiring such skills, you will have to practice
what you have learned to achieve your vision to become a certified massage therapist
someday.
Your prior knowledge on the main groups of massage strokes is important
because when massage techniques are applied to the body, they can affect it through two
different response pathways. Mechanical responses to techniques occur as a direct result of
the manipulation of the tissues from components such as pressure, range of motion, and the
pushing, pulling, lifting, compressing, and twisting of the tissue. Changes to the body as a
result of these effects include increased circulation to the area, changes in fluid movement,
increased pliability of the tissue, and reduction of adhesions.
The other type of response is called a reflexive response and is the result of
changes directed through the nervous system. When the nerves in the area are stimulated,
they create a response either locally or systemically. Examples of reflexive responses include
2
the reduction of blood pressure through the increased diameter of blood vessels, the
decreased arousal of the sympathetic nervous system, and changes in hormone levels. While
these responses are discussed separately, they are closely related and often occur
simultaneously.
This topic is one of the highlights in the previous quarter since this is one of
the most important competencies. It is required in taking the assessment for Hilot (Wellness
Massage) NC II. Thus, as a neophyte, you should spend plenty of time to practice the skills in
performing these massage strokes.
Finally, you are now in the fourth quarter and this module will teach you on
how to perform massage care advice after performing body massage to a client. As a massage
therapist, knowing how to give massage care advice is essential to give more satisfaction to
the client. This will ensure that the client is assisted with the utmost aftercare wellness
massage service. Bear in mind that an effective and efficient service provider must provide or
cater the needs of the client.

WHAT IS IT
Home Advice
Home care advice is very beneficial for the client as it involves them in the
treatment and encourages them to take control of their condition. It also provides linkage
between one treatment and the next. The advice given will obviously depend on the client’s
need and condition, e.g. the overweight client or a client with cellulite will need dietary advice.
For the tense, overworked client you may suggest that s/he tries to reduce her or his workload,
that she or he makes time to rest, takes a relaxing bath and goes to bed early.
You may also teach relaxation techniques and advise her/him to practice
these at home. Those with poor posture can be taught corrective exercises. Deep breathing
exercises are helpful to everyone as they increase the intake of oxygen and the elimination of
carbon dioxide.

Clients who live very busy lives or are coping with worries or dealing with
unhappy situations may find it very difficult to relax. Advising them and showing them ways of
reducing stress and promoting relaxation can form an important part in the treatment. Once
they have recognized the difference between the tense state and the relaxed state they can
continue to practice at home.
D. Relaxation Techniques
There are many techniques that may be used to encourage the client to relax.
They may be combined for maximum effect. The relaxation response involves the client’s
response to a quiet soothing environment: total concentration on a particular object while trying
to let go of all tension. This is sometimes sufficient to promote the relaxed state and can be
practiced anywhere.
5
E. Progressive Relaxation
The client should lie on a mattress and be fully supported. The client may
choose to lie on the back, in the recovery position or half lying if the client has difficulty in lying
flat. The client must be well supported using plenty of pillows under the head, knees or as
required. Allow the client a short time to settle and let go of tension. During this time encourage
her or him to breathe deeply and let go as s/he breathes out.
Try to rest and relax for the remainder of the day, if not, for a few hours at least.
You may feel relaxed and sleepy after your treatment. Take care if you are driving or
working
Keep warm as massage and relaxation treatments can make you feel more sensitive
to the cold.
Drink plenty of water after your treatment to rehydrate your body, reduce fatigue and
help eliminate toxins from your body.
Avoid alcohol and minimize tea and coffee, try to stick with water and/or herbal teas.
Try to avoid eating a heavy meal, eat light for the rest of the day to allow your body to
concentrate on the natural healing and encourage detoxification.
Sometimes people experience some tenderness for 24 hours or so after a massage.
If you do feel a little sore, do some light gentle stretches or take a warm bath with salts.
And remember to tell your therapist about your experience so that it can be taken into
consideration in your next session.
If you have had a treatment with aromatherapy oils: To gain maximum benefit from the
healing oils, try to avoid washing/showering the oils off for a few hours as they will
continue to be absorbed by the skin after your treatment has ended.
