Nicole, since the students are over focusing on listening, they miss all those other important cues. Hope you will use this one in your classes.
I, too, like this idea. As massage therapists, it is our job to assess our clients before working on them. Understanding cues, postures, behaviors as well as signs of illness is key in determining if massage is contraindicated or not advised. You can never pay too much attention to detail.
Hanaa, I'm glad you like this teaching strategy and I hope it is an idea you can incorporate into your classes.
