Short IHM treatment

[fmebausbifoiieeqx]

I've got an indulgence evening this saturday where I am to give some OHM treatments. Now I can normally do the full treatment in 30 mins but how do I cut it down to 15 mins? What would you do and miss out? E.g do just shoulders, neck and head and leave out the back, arms and face? and then finish off the person with the balancing?

All help greatly appreciated.

hi,

we had one those indulgence evening at my daughter school, this is how i did it, if the queue got long i did the quick routine of a 10 to 15 mins of one movement each, as most of the people dont know what to expect for 15 mins, and when there was no queue i made it a bit longer to keep people coming to my stall to think i'm better than the rest of the therpist because i was always very busy looking, and i also took loads voucher giving 10% discount till like the of the month for every full treatment booked, and gave loads my cards out. it really did work for me as i have done loads for charitys as well.

hope you have really good time because when it gets busy you could be working none stop and your arm feel like droping.

Hi Rakhee

I've just got home from participating in a ladies evening at a local school and did 10 min. taster sessions of IHM. I included upper back, neck and scalp. I did miss out a few of the moves to keep within timescale, and I also made up 10ml bottles of warm oil conditioner to take away which I included in the price. For me it was more of a publicity exercise and I did give away plenty of brochures and bus. cards with discounts if used before the end of April. I cant say the environment was ideal as it was quite a busy and not particularly peaceful, but feedback from those I treated was wonderful.

Good luck

Vivien

In response to Piglet
What did you use in your bottles of conditioner? I'm asking because I've got a couple of indulgence evenings coming up soon, and there are so many people offering different therapies, it's nice to stand out a bit!

Thanks

I do a lot of workplace short massages, for mine i try and keep all of the scalp and neck movemnets in - but reduce the back and arsm to a few effleurage strokes for awamring, the na few deeper movements for muscle release.

The main work in a short massage for me tends to be focused on the neck and occipital area though as that is where i find most peopels tension is seated - so you can get the greatest beneift in the shortest time. I leave off the face massage in this type of short treatment but always tell epopel that iut would normally be done in a full session as many of them like hte idea of it so it can attract more clients for you for hte future .

Little busines tip - make sure you take along some leaflests and business cards with what you do as full therapy and give one to eahc client - you may be surprised how many of uyyour short time clients actually come for full sessions later on

I've booked a stall at my local village flower show where I plan to do some sample Indian Head Massage treatments mainly to get some new clients. I'm going to offer them free but would like to ask for donations to the local church as this is what the show is fundraising for but I'm not sure how much to ask for (as a guide for people) or if I should allow people to donate what they want. I would appreciate any advice.
