I always chat with clients during the rub and it really helps

Other massage pros tell me to stay quiet, but I find that talking lets people loosen up faster.

Totally. It's the same reason small talk with your barber or an Uber driver works, just lowers everyone's guard.

Ever hear about a time when chatting made all the difference? My friend works as a masseuse and had this really stiff client. She decided to just talk about normal stuff, like the weather and their pets. After a few minutes, the client totally loosened up and even started sharing their own stories. My friend swears by it now, says it breaks the ice way faster than silence. It's like the talk lets people forget they're on a table.
