Some clients may not be able to lie on their back or stomach, so it is important to be able to massage them in a position in which they are comfortable. Many clients are more comfortable lying on their side. They enjoy the stretches and feeling of elongation that they experience with this work. Your client's body is not a pancake to be flipped over in the middle of a massage, but rather is a three dimensional structure, to be worked with from different perspectives. Side lying work can integrate well into a relaxation massage. You can start with a client lying prone, then on one side, then on the other side, and then finish with them supine. Clients that I have done this with have enjoyed it and have asked for the side lying work in future sessions. For more information about the class and instructor please visit drjamesmally.com
