Clinical ConsiderationNever understimate the far-reaching, therapeutic value of attentive andcompassionate listening. A critical turning point in a client’s healingjourney can occur when he/she feels as if their story has been heard. Theauthors have experienced numerous times, over decades of practice, theclient (and sometimes therapist) reduced to tears when the client discloses;‘you are the first care provider to take the time to, really, listen to mystory’. In that moment something within the client shifts, hope is sparkedand where there is hope, change begins to unfold. Herein lies one of theunique aspects of a MT practice, the luxury of time. Our clinical structurediffers from many forms of healthcare in that appointments are typically anhour long, providing the opportunity for clients to more thoroughly sharethe complexities of their experience. This, in combination with therapeutictouch, can impact the client in significant ways beyond thephysical/functional value of the work.Active listening intentionally focuses on the client. The therapist should be ableto repeat back, in his/her own words, what the client has communicated, to theclient’s approval. This affirms that the therapist fully comprehends what theclient has communicated and conveys to the client that his/her voice matters andthat their perspective is of value (Study Guide and Strategies 2014).Understanding the journey of the traumatic scar patient, empathizing andacknowledging the steps they have taken to recovery will build trust in thetherapeutic relationship. As much as therapists may empathize with their clientsand appreciate their pain conditions, therapists do not experience a client’s painin the same way the client does (Fitch 2014). The client description is meant tooffer ways for the therapist to educate the clients on how the changes in theirmuscles, structures, posture, and quality of daily life can benefit from thetherapeutic massage they are about to receive.If a client is silent during the treatment, engage the client with questions onpressure, comfort and breath.
