Inadequate pressure

A massage that is too gentle will not be effective on cellulite, while a massage that is too intense can be painful and counterproductive.

  • of the client's sensitivity

Lack of customization

  • perform a diagnosis at the beginning of the session
  • adapt the techniques used
  • adjust the protocol over the sessions

Neglecting customer advice

Massage alone is not enough. Without additional advice, the results will be limited.

👉 Solution: Accompany the client with:

  • Hydration tips
  • balanced diet
  • physical activity
