[Bob sent this in response to an initial query asking for medically-oriented massage treatment goals]
The two main goals that I consider with every client are:
- Reduced pain and
- Increased ROM
Admittedly, pain is a subjective, not objective finding, but it could be reported objectively: using less pain medication, able to perform ADL that had previously been too painful, etc.
