Massage for weight loss

First of all, it is necessary to define what is meant by the term "weight loss". There are only two options here - either your client wants to reduce weight, or she wants to reduce body volume. In the second case, clarification is necessary - it is about a local reduction in volume (for example, the volume of the hips and waist), or one would like to have a more refined silhouette.

In order to develop an individual program for weight loss, it is necessary to reach an understanding with the client from the very beginning about the time it will take to achieve the result and the final goal. After anthropometric measurements (weight, height, hip and waist circumference, body mass index calculation), it becomes possible to clearly determine the number of extra kilograms and the "ideal weight".

It is necessary to be realistic and understand that correcting excess weight and treating obesity always requires a comprehensive program that includes diet, changing physical activity, optimizing nutrition in terms of vitamins and micronutrients, and, of course, cosmetic care.
