i dont think this answer is great advice.no u wouldnt take it as a grain of salt it could be an underlying pathology

[sha9627]

subjective information is greatly needed in this instance.if cause is unknown i wuold ask if it was ok to contact doctor.if client has not been to doctor then i wouldnt offer anything more than a relaxation massage and i would refer them to a health professional

Reviewing medical info is where I would ask: "If there is any changes that I should know about. Any medications (diet pills, and such) to explain weight loss or possibly had recovered from a sickness. . .etc.

Instead of commenting directly on their weight, I would ask if there are any recent updates or changes in their health or medications they are taking. My regular clients have to fill out a new health questionnaire yearly, but I ask each time they come to me if there are any changes.

yes..touchy topic..I would not say anything..(my weight goes up and down)...so just wait and see if they bring it up or not...in my opinion.

very good question !

If a client looked ok and relaxed, I wouldn't ask anything.. but if he appeared stressed, then I'd comment on a weight loss and probably even asked for a reason of it..

Yeah, you have to be sensitive to the situation. I wouldn't say anything at all.
