I think it also depends upon what they are coming for… if it is a spa-like massage for general relaxation, I seem to notice they like to talk less. But, a lot of my work has been in clinical surroundings where people have very specific complaints. I found the greatest results and return rate there when I checked in verbally with them to find the most active trigger point causing their pain, remarking when it let go, checking in with them about the pain pattern. They love it and the attentiveness, usually. The more detailed the work needs to be, the more they seem to like and get empowered by the interaction (also takes them out of feeling like they are alone in their pain- they are finally understood)… and of course, that is a generalization.
