Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for massage therapists. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Massage and knead muscles and soft tissues of the body to provide treatment for medical conditions, injuries, or wellness maintenance.

How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Confer with clients about their medical histories and problems with stress or pain to determine how massage will be most helpful.
