Have you ever heard a client say, “I asked for neck work, but she barely touched it”? Or “I needed deeper pressure on my back, but it all felt the same”? These aren’t just client complaints; they’re missed learning opportunities.
Massage students often want to do well, but without guidance, they struggle to translate client goals into intentional, time-managed bodywork. That’s where the Massage Session Planning Form comes in.
This simple yet powerful tool helps students gather key information about the client’s health, goals, and preferences, and plan the massage accordingly. It serves as a scaffold, teaching students to think like professionals: identify contraindications, adapt techniques, and allocate time intentionally. The form also ensures students stay on track with what the client requested, whether that’s 15 focused minutes on the neck or extra depth on the low back.
With practice, this kind of planning becomes second nature. Until then, this form serves as a reminder to be present, thoughtful, and organized. When students plan with purpose, they build trust with clients and confidence in themselves. Download the form here.
