The first step in achieving better palpation skills is to start with your intention, both your mental and emotional attitude will influence what you can feel with your hands.
➡️ Start by finding a restful place within yourself, take a moment to leave the busy world behind and avoid rushing into the first stroke.
➡️ Place your hands on the area & wait a momentbefore you move on
➡️ Calm your mind and allow yourself to feelwhat is under your hands
➡️ Look for tension, shape, size, temperature, does it allow you to sink in or is it pushing you out?
There is a lot your hands can pick up if you give them a chance to feel it.
The next consideration is your instrument of choice, fingers versus flat hand. My recommendation is to start with a restful flat hand.
Top Tip: don't poke with your fingers, use the whole of your hand, rest and wait for your hands to form an accurate picture of what is underneath them.
We should excel as massage therapists in our ability to feel, instead of relying on what we see. Help your hands to be your eyes, they can achieve a high level of accuracy if you allow them to.
