When performing a massage, how should a practitioner adjust their touch?

By skin type
According to client preference
Based on massage technique
By time of day

The correct answer is: According to client preference

The correct choice emphasizes the importance of tailoring the massage experience to the individual client's preferences. Client comfort and satisfaction are paramount in any treatment, particularly in massage. Adjusting touch based on what the client finds enjoyable or effective fosters a positive experience and encourages communication between the practitioner and client. This adaptability allows the practitioner to respond to feedback during the session, ensuring that the pressure, rhythm, and areas of focus align with the client's needs and can enhance their overall experience. It reflects a client-centered approach, which is fundamental in esthetics and wellness practices. While considerations like skin type, specific massage techniques, or even the time of day can be relevant factors in a broader context, they do not have the same level of immediate impact on the massage experience as the client's own preferences do. Focusing on what the client wants helps build trust and rapport, ensuring that they feel valued and heard during the treatment.
