In a clinical massage setting, a new client, Andre, reports recent surgery and brings a note from his physician. The therapist, Sienna, reviews the note, asks clarifying questions about restrictions, and explains that massage will be adapted to avoid the surgical area and respect healing timelines. She describes the proposed techniques, potential sensations, and expected outcomes without guaranteeing results. Sienna asks Andre to confirm understanding and signs a consent form with him. During the session, she checks comfort and observes for adverse responses, stopping to reassess when Andre reports sharp pain. What is the primary focus when establishing the therapeutic relationship in this scenario?
