Massage Bolsters ... Do You REALLY Know How To Use Them?

Massage Bolsters provide comfort for your clients and are an essential addition to your massage equipment.

Are you comfortable using them and do you know their varied uses?

Often Overlooked or Misused

Bolsters are often overlooked or misused. Yet the use of bolsters can range from the absolutely pragmatic to a fine art.

My advice is that you supply yourself with a variety of bolsters, pillows and towels so you're ready for anything.

As an out-call massage therapist, in addition to my new massage room here in town, I continue to bring with me several different bolsters of various sizes and shapes. These are usually pre-determined to which clients I'm visiting that day based on their client history.

I've learned the hard way to not skimp and always come to my clients prepared. What kind of impression are you giving if you borrow pillows from your client?

In a world where superior customer service is non-existent, we need to OVER-Deliver with our clients! Bolsters really are not that expensive, so purchase several. They really will come in handy when you need them!

Follow Expert Advice

Here's a summary from the experts on how to use bolsters: Look at each body, determine its natural alignment, determine what type of session you'll be doing and then bolster accordingly to get at the body part as gracefully as possible while supporting the client comfortably; assess your clients individually, don't use the same bolsters in the same positions for all clients; know what's available on the market and purchase a wide variety of pillows and bolsters; bolster for your client's safety and for your accessibility.
