Goldilocks Revisited

Goldilocks found the extremes of the things in the house unsatisfactory, while one was"just right." In biomedicine, too much or too little of the same substance does not produce the desired effect. Success lies within desired margins, not outside it. *Douglas Nelson, The Goldilocks Principle; Massage & Bodywork; Nov./Dec. 2011, p.86.

The Goldilocks Principle is important in massage therapy because every client is different and has their own likes and dislikes. Therefor, let your therapist know if they need to make adjustments in the following areas to make your massage a memorable one.

• Is the pressure too hard, too light or just right?
• Is the room temperature too cold, too hot or just right?
• Is the music too loud, too quiet or just right?
• Should the therapist refrain from talking during the session?
• Is there a light shining in your eyes too brightly?

Your therapist should be checking with you from time to time to make sure everything is all right. Please let them know if things are not all right.

"Nuff Said"

So, by abiding by the Goldilocks Principle and getting your massage session "just right" you will end your session with a smile on your face.
