What is It

Before you start the lesson, familiarize yourself first with the following terms.

Vital – fundamentally concerned with or affecting life of living
beings.

Sphygmomanometer – instrument for measuring blood pressure and
especially arterial blood pressure.

Vital Information of the client
During your first visit, Hilot therapist or provider will obtain relevant

information from you such as:
1. Full name

2. Age
3. Birthday/Birthplace
4. Occupation
5. Residential address
6. Contact number

And the therapist will also ask you about your current health situation such
as presence of pain in the body, or have you been hospitalized lately, or if you are
taking any medication, or any family member who is suffering from any medical
conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. Also, the therapist will also ask you
about your current lifestyle such as smoking or drinking habit. Then after getting
such information, you will undergo some pre-hilot massage procedures such as Vital
Sign Check-Up, Pulse Analysis, thermal reading and other evaluation methods to
determine hilot wellness expectation or requirements.

Vital signs – are a group of the four to six most important medical signs that
indicate the status of the body’s vital functions. There are four primary vital signs:
body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate or pulse rate and respiratory rate.

5

A. Temperature - a degree of hotness or coldness measured on a definite scale.
Steps on how to get the temperature of client:
1. Clean the thermometer with an antiseptic’s solution, from the valve
towards the stem in a circular motion.
2. Turn on the digital thermometer.
3. Place the thermometer to the client’s axilla.
4. Hold the thermometer in place for 2 to 3 minutes or until you hear the
beep sound.
5. Remove the thermometer from client’s axilla and note the reading.
6. Inform the client about the results and its significance.
7. Disinfect the thermometer with an antiseptic solution from the stem going
towards the valve in a circular motion.

B. Blood pressure - pressure that I exerted by the blood upon the walls of the
blood vessels and especially arteries an that varies with the muscular
efficiency of the heart, the blood volume and viscosity, the age and health
of the individual, and the state of the vascular wall.
Steps on how to get the blood pressure of the client:
1.Gather the necessary equipment.
2.Position the client comfortably on a chair with arms rested alongside his
body.
3.Look for client radial artery and palpate for the palpatory pulse.
4.Position the cuff two inches above the antecubital fossa. Inflating bladder
directly over brachial artery ensures that proper pressure is applied during
inflation.
5.Position the sphygmomanometer so that the measuring scan is turned away
from the client’s line of vision and the mercury column vertical.
6.Place the stethoscope discover the brachial artery to ensure good amplication
of sounds for the accurate reading. Each earpiece should follow the angle of
the ear canal to facilitate hearing.
7.With the stethoscope in position, inflate the cuff until the mercury rises to
approximately 20 - 30 mm above the anticipated systolic pressure.
8.Release air in the cuff slowly while noting the reading on the manometer.
9.Note the first clear and strong sound as the systolic reading and the last
audible sound as the diastolic reading.

C. Respiratory rate - the movement of air or dissolved gases into and out of the lungs.
Steps on how to get the respiratory rate of the client:
1.Note the rise and fall of the patient’s chest with each inspiration and
expiration. Observation can be made without disturbing the client’s
bedclothes.
2.Using a watch with a second - hand count the number of respiration for one
minute. If the respiration is abnormal repeat the count in order to determine
accurately the rate and characteristics.

6

D.Pulse rate - the palpable beat resulting from such pulse as detected in a superficial
artery.
Steps on how to get the pulse rate of the client.
1.Press client’s wrist with the thumb at the back of the wrist and the first two
fingers over the radial artery with moderate pressure.
2.Count the number of pulsation for one full minute.
3.Observe for the rise and fall of the client’s chest while fingers are still on the
client’s radial artery after counting the pulse rate.
4.Inform the client about the results and its significance.

Contraindication of Massage
A Contraindication is a specific situation in which a drug, procedure, or

surgery should not be used because it may be harmful to the person.

Massage therapy appears to have few serious risks — if it is performed by a
properly trained therapist and if appropriate cautions are followed. The number of
serious injuries reported is very small. Side effects of massage therapy may include
temporary pain or discomfort, bruising, swelling and a sensitivity or allergy to
massage oils.

There are three types of contraindication:
• TOTAL, when massage should not be performed at all.
• LOCAL, when massage can be performed but not over the contraindicated
areas.
• MEDICAL, when massage can only be performed once medical permission has
been granted.
