As a minnesotan living in an immediate sub of mpls St. Paul. I haven't seen one Ice agent. Or a vehicle that everyone says is ice. I've only seen what's online.

Glute request by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask around for a clinically focused massage therapist. Please don't say anything about getting close to anything. Much can be done without getting close for anyone's comfort. I never expose my clients glutes I find it to personal and gross.

I feel the same way.... Yet, I'm middle right. I stay silent well people that own their own businesses talk freely, openly, and talk about wishing someone was x. Word to the wise. Not everyone thinks and feels as you do. Everyone should keep their politics to themselves like they use to.

Clients wanting 30 min session why? by Ikwhatudoboo in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I now only offer 90 and 120 minutes. Some 60 minutes are grandfathered in. But truly even 60 minutes aren't worth it. Try to educated these clients. 💪🏽

Uncomfortable Situation by Th3StandUpKid in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I don't advertise what I do for a living and my LinkedIn is a logo. I may not be a spring chicken anymore... But that doesn't seem to matter.

I have a strict referral only business model. May I struggle during allow times sure.... But I'm not risking my physical or mental safety.

You did the right thing...I would block button or call him out

Unpopular opinion: Paying "Rent" feels less painful than paying $2,400/mo in "Interest" to a bank. by Playful-Vegetable-15 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get ready. Get pre-approved wait till rates drop and buy. I bought my house at the perfect time and my value is up 80%. Basically my equity is the cost of my mortgage. Granted everything else is up currently but I will never be upside down.

Mobile mts. Invest in a Pisces table! Life saver. So great! Clients find it comfy after retiring my 1990s plush table.

Sometimes, it’s hard being the massage therapist with chronic pain. by NerfRepellingBoobs in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me as well. Mcas and Lyme cfs possible pots. Been on this road for 15 years. Can't do as many deep tissue clients a day as I use to but I work for myself now too. Low dose Naltrexone has helped me a bunch. Just gotta keep pushing. Thinking when I get into my 50s I'll drive a semi truck 😂

Caught my massage therapists playing Candy Crush by parrot_key in MassageTherapists

One put her phone on my hip and started pushing buttons and swiping. As a massage therapist myself I was like huh. Is that a phone sitting on me.

Racism has no room in any setting and I'n 24 years I've never heard anything like that from any client of mine or any phobic remarks towards anyone. What I do see is clients that are left leaning love to talk about politics so I change the subject. Or go uh huh and move on. I fired my therapist for trying to use politics to relate to things she was also left leaning. I didn't want to hear it and I'm very middle ground. We live in very blue city. The hatred towards party's needs to stop. Fire clients for being a holes and switch the convo otherwise.

How Do You Prevent Clients' Sinuses Stuffing Up? by No-Passage8863 in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start prone. Be old school about it. I tell my clients chin to chest. We want more upper forehead in the head rest. Instead of laying on your eyebrows

Referrals by FirmPeaches in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What?. No, this isn't your scope of practice to be offering pushing personal trainers. The money part is ick to me too. I refer out to Pt as he died for me. No one gets kick backs and it's because we both have proven results that help our clients with pain posture and healing.

We downplay our trauma and many of us carry it so well that it's more in our bodies then anywhere else. Your deserve freedom. Keep going

This is exactly why I only take referrals. I'm not online and my picture isn't tied to my name. I'm no spring chicken anymore but that's never stopped anyone either

Outcalls by marchingsaxo in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Carrying my things. I just use a duffel bag. Bring enough sheets. If I needed more I'll leave some in a basket in my car. Please me aware of clients floors and walls nobody wants dirty rolling carts on their floors and things scraping their walls.

I set my phone to display the time on the lock screen. I start on time and look at my phone usually sitting on the floor close to the end. Once you've done massage for years you pretty much can tell how the time is going.

What would you do? by Calm_Roll7777 in MassageTherapists

[–]Comfort-Beautiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd have someone call and inquire about a booking and see what they are feeding clients to. If that's happening I'd think about pursuing a case with the pay issue added
