Treatment Time

[lkeziutyiorizsejl]

how long does your indian head massage treatment last? i mean from start to finish, not including consult, settling down and getting the client out!

Hi Rosie
I quote on my leaflets a treatment time of 45 - 50 mins, so I suppose pure treatment time is 35 minutes depending on how long the client takes to tell you their life history (in some cases) and whether or not I have somebody coming straight afterwards. I recently did 20 min taster sessions at a MBS Exhibition and in that time I did the whole routine albeit it quickly so I nearly double that normally to do a more through treatment.

Best wishes
Jackie

I book 45 min appointments in and actually treat for 30 - 35 mins.

My IHM sessions are usually about an hour with about 40-50 minutes actual treatment time ( depending on how much the client has to discuss).

I also offer quick 1/2 hour de-stress treatments, but I find these are not so popular, usually people book for the full hour.

My actual treatment time lasts for 45 mins!

dont you find that treatments that last only 30 mins are more rushed or are your clients more than happy??

Sounds like I maybe need to rethink my times??

At the local salons treatment times are booked in for 30 mins. I wasn't sure if this would not be long enough.??

Mine also lasts about 35 minutes. Much more and my own thoracic spine really hurts. That is a full unrushed treatment and they come back for more. I charge £25 for the first visit and £20 subsequently to allow for the consultation, (especially as they are often one offs for pampering).

I advertise that they are 35-40 minutes but always make sure they are a touch longer as I feel this is reassuring to the client that I've taken the time for them.

Wow, I've just finished VTCT IHM and we were taught a 20 min routine, but it seems the norm is quite a bit longer.

For my case studies (done mobile) I allowed about 35 mins from in the house to out again, apart from the first which was about an hour in total due to consultation.

There are a few movements in the routine I was taught that I'm not comfortable doing, so plan to change things a bit.

Hello, on average what is the approximate charge for a ihm?

Do you need qualifications to practice and get paid? I'm an indian born in the uk and thought that clients may want a indian head massage from an indian to make them feel more relaxed?

I'm also investigating massage and wanted to know if i needed a qualification in order to get client's to pay me - a difficult job for males to get the right clients, ie, no funny business!
Thanks

The actual treatment time would probably take me about 50 minutes, as I feel this gives the client time to reach a healing state and feel really relaxed- but I could stretch to an hour, or even do a 20 minute treatment if someone wanted.

I think I would personally prefer to treat someone for 50 minutes to an hour because I am sure their body would get more out of the treatment, as obviously IHM is to aid the body in removal of toxins and stimulate or help clear the energy channels (meridians) as well as to relax the client. I would probably do a 30 minute treatment if it was an invigorating massage though...it really depends!

Mine is somewhere between 35 and 40 mins - depends on the energy balancing bit at the end and how tight their shoulders are

I charge £20 for an IHM
