Draping

Massage therapists use special techniques to cover the body with a sheet and blanket while working on various parts of the body and protecting a client’s modesty. Draping allows the client to remain covered and warm while still receiving massage therapy. An experienced massage therapist like myself with 18 years of experience in the industry ensures that draping will be smooth and seamless and won’t interrupt the flow of the massage. While draping, it is important to ensure that the client is draped appropriately at all times. The main priorities of massage draping are informed consent, never exposing a client, and always communicating. During the massage, only the body part that the therapist is working on is uncovered and focusing on one body part at a time.  By keeping these key concepts of draping in mind.. practitioners can focus on their craft with a relaxed client, get better results, and most importantly ensure clients safety and trust.
