Even before moving into the arena of continuing education and advanced certifi cations, the entry level practitioner has been taught to use more than one modality. Today one would be hard put to fi nd a school that taught only Swedish massage! The modalities we learn to use were almost always developed as complete systems, and within each system, certain results can be rightfully expected when working with clients. The purists among us stay true to this principle and separate out modalities offered through the use of a menu of services presented to the client. Perhaps even discussing which modality would be the best choice for that day’s session, based on the client’s current needs. This is a popular and comfortable modus operandi in many private practices, in holistic health centers, and in spas. So this type of therapist might, for example, be skilled in cranial sacral, Swedish massage, Bowen, and deep tissue. Depending on what type of results were needed for that day and the preferences of the client, only one of these modalities would be used. Frequently, informed clients seek out practitioners of these modalities because they want to have a certain kind of bodywork experience. The effect of a session or a series of sessions is often profound. Another type of therapist views all of the individual moves, strokes and pieces that comprise the modalities they have learned as fi lling a virtual tool box from which they construct a session for the client based on the needs and preferences of the client and even what they fi nd while working in the session. For the most part, this client happily gives over to the therapist the decision-making about what the therapist is going to do with the client during the session. Of course some modalities complement each other better than others, and in the interest of producing results for the client, this type of therapist becomes skilled over time at mixing and blending techniques, a little of this, a little of that-an alchemy that works magic for both the therapist and the client. Knowing which approach more closely defi nes your style of working can help you to choose continuing education courses that will satisfy you. And as you see where you fi t into these philosophies, it can also hone your marketing and help you achieve success.
