How to Identify a Stressed-Out Client Before You Start the Massage
Many massage therapists struggle when a client arrives stressed, anxious, or unable to relax. They try deep tissue, they try sports massage, they change pressure, speed, and techniques — but nothing works. The issue isn’t the technique. The issue is the client’s nervous system. In this class, Yuris explains how to quickly identify a stressful client and how to treat them properly from the very first minute of the session.

A stressed-out client will talk nonstop, overthink, move constantly, shake their leg, breathe fast, tighten their shoulders, or hold their hands together. These are signs of a sympathetic nervous system overload — the fight-or-flight state. If you start doing deep work on this person, their body will fight the pressure, resist touch, and tense up even more.
The key is to calm the system before you treat the muscles.
In this video, you’ll learn how to observe micro-signals of stress and apply a step-by-step approach:
• Slow the client down
• Use grounding breathwork
• Gentle intro strokes and slow tempo work
• Nervous system reset before physical manipulation
• Transition into deeper therapy once the body switches from “stress mode” to “healing mode”
When you learn to identify a stressful client fast, every session becomes easier, smoother, and much more effective. This is professional therapy — not just massage — and it’s a skill every elite therapist must master.
