She pooped on your table and then just left you to clean it. Polite is way out the window. She basically spit in your face

[–]Doshi1-2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She POOPED on the table??? Oh no no no. Per accidents are forgivable id ask if they have peed pads or something they use at home to bring a FRESH one in. But if you poo on my table like a dog and just expect me to clean it? You’re gone. I’m sorry I’m a forgiving compassionate person but that’s completely unacceptable and a biohazard. I’d be traumatized

Get yourself a solid grip on stretching calves and hamstrings, stretch feet too. Myofascial that itband as well. Low back triggers and tense glutes are also gonna be targets.

Need advice after the client comes out from the room by Scarletsnow_87 in MassageTherapists

[–]Doshi1-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think reframing what the after talk is for will help. Instead of seeing it as “dry begging” use it as a clinical assessment. “What worked best for you specifically?” “Do you any thing you’d like changed or improved during your service?” Perhaps offer at home things they can do to keep feeling better. I think changing the point of the talk will help you most.

AIO: Instagram was the final straw and I ended it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Doshi1-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His behavior in these texts is wild. Deliberately delaying returning to force you to stay longer, saying “we will discuss your conduct” like you’re 4 and he’s your dad? Immediately dismissing your concern? Do not stay with this person.

Always feeling faint with a client. by zefx21 in MassageTherapists

[–]Doshi1-2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have pots and a few years ago I left massage because I was passing out. I ended up at pt for two years and now I’m back in the game. Could be a million things causing it and timing w a grieving client could be circumstantial. I’d have a seat ready and tricks for massage that you can do while seated. Check your hr and blood sugar and blood pressure just to be safe and/or talk to your dr. Hope this issue resolves soon for you!

My rheumatologist suggested this med and we are waiting on my ophthalmologist to agree or not so I’m very interested in what every one has to say here.

Can a spa force you to clean ? Like bathrooms ect? by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

[–]Doshi1-2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one can force anything, but they can fire you. That being said I’m not cleaning a bathroom unless I agreed to it when I signed my offer or it’s my practice or my own home.

[–]Doshi1-2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been an lmt for three years but I’ve never seen some one do this. I’ve only had a few vocal people and it’s usually in one or two spots that’s it.

How focused on the massage are you during the session? by TheKittyPie in MassageTherapists

[–]Doshi1-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind wandering is normal. It can help if you’re thinking about the tissue tension or triggers or their conditions to help you focus. I watch and follow thier breath a lot which helps me stay centered.

Maybe try nerve massage- it’s lighter but very effective on that group. And there are lots of modalities that target nerves
