If a client has injured his leg in a fall, what should you do?

Referring the client to a physician is the most appropriate action in this scenario. When someone has sustained an injury, especially in a case like a leg injury from a fall, it is crucial to ensure proper medical evaluation and treatment. A physician can assess the injury to determine its severity and provide a specific treatment plan, which may include imaging studies, medications, or other interventions.

Continuing with the massage without addressing the injury could potentially exacerbate the condition, causing further harm or delaying recovery. While applying ice might be a common first aid measure for recent injuries, this should be performed by the individual, and it's typically appropriate for initial self-care rather than a massage context. Advising rest is also important but does not replace the need for medical evaluation when an injury is sustained. By referring the client to a physician, you prioritize their health and wellbeing, ensuring they receive the appropriate care before engaging in massage or other physical activities.
