Top list of most common questions you get from public

[Pompal 09.]

Hi, I'll be presenting a demo and speech on massage and I'd like to include a list of most common asked questions of therapists. Can you help me? I have the following:
1) Is it harder to massage heavier people?
2) Don't your hands hurt ?
3) How can you massage all day, I can't even do two minutes!
4) I heard deep tissue is the best massage, is it?
5) How can you touch all those people?
6) What was your most interesting client?
Can anyone add to these common questions? Thank you

Are you interested in questions clients ask or the general public when they discover you are a massage therapist?

Did you have to go to school to learn this?

Can you feel the knots in my muscles?

Do you get massages?

Does it bother you to touch people's feet?

Do I take my bra off? Underwear?

How often should I get a massage?

Should I tip you? (This one always gets me. If I'm going somewhere where I'm not sure of the protocol, I will ask someone ahead of time).

That's a few I can think of.

How about --
Do I have to be draped?

Can you do anything extra?

You forgot to massage something!

Wow, I didn't know I was that tight!

How often should I get a massage?

I hope I didn't snore too loud!

The most common ones I get...

Did you have to go to school, how long?

and

Don't you get tired?

Most frequent comment... I didn't know I was that tight there!

You may want to pain referral as well... such as tight calves can cause headache.

Good luck!

My biggest question: Why did you become a MT? (or some variation of that...I get it all the time!)

 

[Ruth velasquez]

1. have you worked on any famous people?
2. do you exchange massage with mr. mush? (also an mt)
3. what is the most strange, weird thing that has happened to you?
4. don't you get scared doing mobile massage?

 

[john Galt]

How did you know that was tight there?

How many massages can you do in a day?

Do you work on your husband? Your husband must be lucky to be married to an MT.

Will you come live with me and massage me everyday? Yikes!

Don't you have to work on gross people?

(As I am coming to and end with the session)
Could you just work that area real quick?

 

[Naomi]

And ....
How did you get such strong hands.

(Near the end of the session) Can I have an extra 30 minutes please!

 

[condosgirl]

From friends and family I get questions like:

How can you touch all those naked people?

Could you just work on this knot for a few minutes?

What muscle is that? What could've caused that to hurt?

From male Buddies:
Do you give happy endings? Answered with a big emphatic, NO! Go to the bathroom and do it yourself! (They're just giving me a hard time, (no pun intended).)

Here's a few I would have, since I'm still a student...

Is there anything you have to do different with extremely hairy people?

What if someone that has a SEVERE case of psoriasis wants a massage?

 

[cowboydoc]

a few I have gotten
How can you work in such a dark room all day long?
How can you stay awake with the soft music and lighting?
Bet your boyfriend loves you?
OMG and your ex husband divorced you with hands like that? He must be crazy! (I love that one )
Do peoples feet stink?
What do you do when they do stink?......needless to say i have gotten very good at holding my breath for a long time lol
When I find a knot they were not aware of...How did you know?
or the same for the ones that opt not tell you where they are hurting.
Is there every someone that you do not want to massage?
After a 2 hour massage.....Do your hands hurt? or more so.....How can you do that for 2 hours straight?
