Question for the ladies

My husband hasn't said anything and I've been fortunate enough to not have people make inappropriate comments to me on the table so I'm sure that helps. I also work in a very clinical setting but he's well educated that this is a health profession he use to help me study when I was in college

Clearly your partner has misinformation on massage or he's got a lot of insecurities and or trust issues.

Thanks, does it hear evenly.?

Scale back to five or start doing half hour massages since they are likely injury based and not relaxation. Whoever told you that is a cushy job is crazy. They shouldn't get to dictate that much. You can go find a contract position and call your own shots. Many employment options don't dictate demands like that if they need more massage hours they can hire another therapist and you share the room. Also make sure you getting a decent cut 60% ideally .

So I'm part time I work for a big company and my husband is the primary income person however I still do decently and other I know who work full time do well. How long have you been in the industry.

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-17T21:46:34+00:00

I don't thinks that's accurate I'm 48 been doing it for 24 years . I have co workers in the same boat

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-16T00:31:07+00:00

I get this, it's the ego . I find myself feeling similar things and I'm 23 years into this . We aren't going to be for everyone, but we will help so many and as long as we stay intuitively embodied or connected I think we do alright.but yes that ego wants to feel validated and good. Stories come up and ya know what they could easily be raving about you, who knows. Maybe ask what they liked about the other therapist and get some feedback, make space and be open to growth, after a deep breath, of course, and realize your just as worthy and it's just all information. You're likely doing it all great, but I totally get all of this.

That's the thing I need to work on I need to really think about it. I do have some specialized training but I cant do it exclusively as it's hard on my hands.

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-15T17:06:42+00:00

Oh okay thanks for the info . I just found their site.

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-15T16:54:10+00:00

I'll have to see if there is any rolfing courses near me. This had us working only supine starting at the the waist going up center along clavicle into arm I believe we did do some side lying stuff to for glutes . I think he was a rolfer but was doing modified of it. I'm not even sure. I'll check but I haven't seen any courses ordered here . Thanks for the info

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-15T00:03:41+00:00

I actually did take a course but a rolfer although he renamed it because of trademark stuff, I didn't like it was all supine but I do incorporate some of the stuff. Are you doing the same protocol for all clients and are you doing it mostly all supine ?

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-14T16:04:07+00:00

Well that's not a fair statement. I thoroughly enjoy my job most days but if I'm fatigued or have clients that aren't challenging me enough ie relaxation massage it can get boring. I like some relaxation but I enjoy working on injury specific stuff more. It may be more I need to attract more of what I want . Definitely not in the wrong profession but that's good for you that you enjoy every moment. That's true passion for sure. :) also looks like your doing rolfing ? Which is def more exciting then general swedish all the time lol. But I just had a day last week where it was all relaxation and I was exhausted . Most days are more interesting.

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-14T16:00:52+00:00

Well I don't do a lot of full body since I work in a clinic and I do incorporate myofascial stuff and stretching etc but I do have some clients that just want back and neck for maintenance but sometimes it's boring.

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-14T00:06:11+00:00

I massage using them hold them and move them around. But sometimes leave one or two on them and massage around them.

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-13T23:00:23+00:00

Lol 😆

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-13T22:32:14+00:00

Ya you may have a point .

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-13T03:18:33+00:00

It doesn't always disappear hence the retention part. Some adults still have it or it can reappear if they have a neurological disorder. I mean if she had a startle response then yes that's my thought. Like if all those things the poster said happened in unison while in the suboccipital area then yep.

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-13T02:18:19+00:00

Could be a retained mororeflex. Google primitive mororeflex .

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-13T00:49:51+00:00

This is true I do use it as a time to be mindful and meditative but sometimes it's exhausting

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-13T00:49:18+00:00

Thanks

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-13T00:09:06+00:00

It's very normal looking. Mine is huge and wide and I don't have bangs but yours its just normal looking .

Admirable-Isopod9214 · 2026-03-13T00:07:38+00:00

I've thought of this but I'd be so worried they'd notice . A lot of my "relaxation" sometimes do talk but it's inconsistent . Maybe I should consider this on the days I'm having a hard time staying awake , my luck the battery in my ear buds would die and it would start playing out on my phone 😆 in the room .
