and symbols for massage treatment records, identifying the more common ones.) Some of the more helpful sym­bols you may use include delta ( ⌬ ), the standard symbol for change, or an arrow () to indicate posttreatment assess­ment findings. The changes you indicate will typically be positive changes due to treatment, but if symptoms worsen, you can still use these symbols. For instance:
• Full-body relaxation massage resulted in reduced pain and increased left lateral flexion of the neck:
FBRM → ↓P ↑(L)lat flex neck
• The client complains of moderate pain in the right shoulder:
Cl c/o mod P (R)shoulder
• The left anterior superior iliac spine was higher than the right before the massage, but they were even after the massage:
(L)ASIS ⌬ (L)ASIS ⫽ (R)ASIS
Typically, not much time is available to fill out a SOAP note, so you may be inclined to wait until the end of the day to document all the SOAP notes. The longer you wait to fill out the SOAP, however, the less accurate your documen­tation will be, especially if you have to fill out numerous
SOAP notes at one time. After several different clients have come and gone, it is often difficult to remember details specific to each client. Information is more accurate when you document immediately after the session. Because these documents are used as the basis for future treatments and may also be used by other healthcare professionals as well as attorneys and insurance companies, your accuracy is critical. Using appropriate abbreviations can speed up the process of documentation, allowing you to fill out the SOAP note immediately after each massage session.
SOAP Note Variations
All of the previous examples of SOAP notes are full-page forms that provide space for recording the pertinent details for therapeutic massage sessions. There are a number of variations available. A shortened form can be used when a client is treated for general concerns or given a wellness massage. One of the shortened forms is called the Wellness Chart (Fig.6-5). Tx refers to treatment, in which you docu­ment general information on treatment and results. C refers to comments, including brief recommendations for another treatment and self-care. The form shown here includes a body diagram for you to note specific data.

Case Studies

Introducing . . . The Case Studies
Three different case studies are presented throughout this text. The participants are introduced with brief biographies followed by the documentation forms used to record their information: health history and SOAP notes. The SOAP note will be highlighted differently in each chapter that includes the Case Studies, showcasing the information that is most appropriate for those chapters. Here, we introduce Rob Blackwell, Timothy Roberts, and Kirsten Van Marter.
Progressive Case Study 1:
Rob Blackwell
Rob Blackwell is a 42-year-old man who is trying massage for the first time and hopes to restore his sleep and reduce pain in his neck, shoulder, back, and knees so he can lift weights and golf as he used to. Rob says his shoulder pain interferes
with his activities the most. He complains that his sleep is affected by his pain, and his health history reveals osteoarthritis and tendinitis in his knees, multiple sprains in his ankles, sinus trouble, and multiple head injuries. Your interview determines that the osteoarthritis diagnosis was made more than 10 years ago. On a pain scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the worst pain, Rob says all of his areas of concern are about 4. He soaks in the hot tub, which helps the pain, and he occasionally takes ibuprofen, which could affect his pain perception during massage. All of the information Rob tells you is subjective information, and you record anything that is pertinent to his chief complaints (Figs.6-6 and 6-7).
The massage for Rob is designed to reduce pain and tension and find fascial adhesions, but you focus on the condition of the soft tissues in his shoulders. You use your standard massage flow, with the addition of some therapeutic techniques. After the massage, you perform the posttreatment assessment, prioritize Rob’s functional limitations, and determine short- and long-term treatment goals. You make treatment plan recommendations regarding future treatment, self-care, and referrals to other healthcare practitioners.
284 INTRODUCTION TO MASSAGE THERAPY
Progressive Case Study 2:
Timothy Roberts
Timothy Roberts is an elderly gentleman who is primarily interested in relaxation. A person his age is considered part of the senior ( geriatric) population, but treatment should be based on the condition of the soft tissues and general state of health. He indicates no specific
areas of concern or chief complaints, but you notice that he takes blood pressure medication and has a history of skin cancer (Fig. 6-8).
The main focus of Timothy’s massage will be relaxation and circulatory enhancement. During the massage, you find fascial restrictions and reduced passive ROM in his left ankle. Following the massage, you briefly discuss plans for future massage treatment and self-care activities.
Progressive Case Study 3:
Kirsten Van Marter
Kirsten Van Marter is a 38-year-old woman in her third trimester of pregnancy. She has received monthly massage treatments in the past but is a
first-time client for you. Her primary complaint is mild but constant back pain. Her secondary concern is mild pain in her hips, pelvis, neck, and shoulders. She is looking for pain relief in her areas of concern as well
as restored sleep, restored normal fitness level, and she wants to be able to pick up her child without pain. She says that she worries that she will drop her daughter because of the pain. She is physically active and in good health, except for anemia and gestational diabetes during this pregnancy. You record any information Kirsten shares with you that is pertinent to her areas of concern as subjective information (Figs.6-9 and 6-10).
There are a number of techniques and areas to avoid for prenatal massage and special considerations to make. You keep Kirsten in the side-lying position for most of the massage and provide a relaxation massage with some therapeutic techniques. After the massage, you perform a posttreatment assessment, prioritize her functional limitations, and determine short- and long-term treatment goals. You make specific recommendations for future treatment and self-care.
The language of massage therapy contains many medical and scientific terms. To learn this language, you need com­mitment and lots of practice. Use your eyes, ear, mouth, and body in the process to reinforce and facilitate learning, but make sure you are learning correctly. In all modes of commu­nication, whether oral or written, with the client or another healthcare professional, you must use correct spelling, pro­nunciation, and context. Knowing how to break down a word to determine its meaning will help you understand the univer­sal language of healthcare and may make it easier to learn the basics of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology.
Based on the events in the history of massage and the concepts of ethics and professionalism, you can see why effective communication and documentation are impor­tant. Without effective communication, you cannot gather appropriate and important information or accurately docu­ment activity that occurred. Inaccurate records provide an undependable history, they can lead to misunderstanding,
and they can compromise your integrity and profession­alism. Ethics and professionalism are cornerstones for a successful practice. Your understanding of medical ter­minology, anatomy, and physiology help you read and write useful massage treatment records that contain help­ful information for you and the other members of your clients’ healthcare team.
Gathering information through effective communica­tion with clients is vital to good documentation. Establishing rapport and mutual trust and validating the client’s condi­tion and perceptions are necessary for creating a client­centered focus for safe and effective massage treatment. Effective communication, reflective listening skills, asking useful questions, and considering nonverbal communication all help make the interview more effective and lead to the most thorough picture of a client’s current condition. This information is recorded on a SOAP chart or other documen­tation format. Documentation is essential for the safe and effective treatment of clients as well as for communication with other healthcare providers.
