Massage Therapy Notes

Read full description

Needle is the massage therapist's client knowledge companion - body maps showing each client's tension patterns and areas to avoid, pressure preference scales per body region, session notes that build a complete body history over time, and intake forms with medical contraindication tracking. Review any client's key information in 30 seconds before they walk in. Whether you specialize in deep tissue, sports massage, or relaxation, Needle ensures every client feels known and every session builds on the last. KNOW EVERY CLIENT LIKE A REGULAR Before Sarah's appointment: right trapezius tension, left hip flexor (check if she traveled), avoid feet, pressure 7/10 on the back. After 14 sessions, you know her body better than she does. Needle makes this possible - and makes every client feel that way. FREE FEATURES INCLUDED: - Client Profiles (up to 10) - contact info, health history, goals, and contraindications - Body Map - visual front and back diagram with problem areas, avoid zones, and response markers - Pressure Map - per-region pressure preferences (1-10 scale) with notes per body area - Session Notes - findings, treatment applied, client response, and plan for next session - Intake Form Template - health history, medications, allergies, and contraindications - Today's Schedule - your day at a glance with key client reminders before each appointment NEEDLE PRO - UNLIMITED PRACTICE: - Unlimited Client Profiles (beyond the free 10) - Treatment Plans - multi-session protocols for ongoing issues (frozen shoulder rehab, chronic back pain, postural correction) - Rebook Tracking - know who is due for their next appointment - CEU Tracker - track continuing education hours toward license renewal - AI Bodywork Guide - evidence-based protocols for complex cases, powered by Grok AI - Custom App Icons THE BODY MAP Every client has a unique body. The body map lets you mark problem areas (chronic tension, injury sites), areas to avoid (contraindications, client preferences), and regions that have responded well to treatment. Color-coded markers: amber for problem areas, red for avoid, green for responded well. After multiple sessions, the map tells the story of your therapeutic relationship with each client. THE PRESSURE MAP One of the most common therapist-client disconnects is pressure. Some clients want deep tissue on their back but light work on their neck. Some bruise easily. Some are training for a marathon. The pressure map records per-region preferences on a 1-10 scale with notes, so you never have to guess or ask "was that pressure okay?" again. SESSION NOTES THAT BUILD KNOWLEDGE Each session note captures: areas worked, techniques used, findings (palpable restrictions, areas of tension), treatment (what you did and how), client response (how they felt), and a plan for next session. After 10 sessions, you have a complete body history. After 20 sessions, you understand chronic patterns and can predict what a client needs before they tell you. This is the knowledge that turns good therapists into great ones. DESIGNED FOR MASSAGE THERAPISTS Needle is built for the 350,000+ licensed massage therapists in the US - from solo home-studio practitioners to spa employees who want to track client knowledge beyond what the spa's system captures. It is designed for the 15-25 client workweek: fast to use between sessions, comprehensive enough to capture everything that matters. Your client data is stored privately on your device with iCloud sync. No advertising. No data selling. Core features available without a subscription.
