The massage competition criteria was 'make it yours!' Not quite a SMART target, but now that I've done it - It proves that maybe sometimes we can think to much for students and block their potential artistic side.
The ranges of setting-up were very different; from candles, flowers and joss sticks too coloured towels and throws.
Although I was to busy concentrating on my own client I did glimpse a therapist with her client standing while she checked the clients posture before allowing the client to lay on the massage table. I have high hopes for her becoming a chiropractor as her specialist subject, rather than a massage therapist - seriously!
At the end of the day I am sure the main points were given for technique not how your work area looked. Even if it may be part of the criteria how many points would you get for that? Then personal presentation, professionalism and client care!?!!
As an assessor I wonder what the real criteria was? Make it your own sounds a bit subjective to me. No uniformity or standardisation. As contestants we'll just have to depend on their expert eyes and observation...
We won't know till 3rd June.
