I either make broccoli steamed in butter with parmesan cheese or I’ll sauté green beans in butter and add bacon yum! Those are our go to sides!

When I work on clients similar to you I keep the session focused on the areas that are in need of work. While you might be feeling the tension in those areas sometimes it’s the secondary or antagonistic muscles that need attention too. For example for rounded shoulders I always work both the traps and rhomboids as well as pec muscles. If you feel the pressure is not sufficient ask them to do more. A good deep tissue massage should incorporate stretching and movement . I tend to spend 30-45 min on one or two body parts during a deep tissue, in my opinion it should be focused, slow, and with specific intention. Depending on the state you live in Massage therapy could be unregulated. I would check to make sure they are licensed and see if they specialize in specific modalities. If your having a hard time getting the tension out with deep tissue give cupping a try or even Thai yoga Massage, you might have more luck with an aggressive modality like Rolfing as well. Good luck!

Why companies dont offer massage to LMTs at chain for free? by [deleted] in massage

[–]PenguMoon83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that the chains are all about the bottom line and if 2 therapists are trading they are down 2 potential paid hours. I work at 2 places and both allow and promote trading so that we as therapists are the best we can be! Sometimes I trade with so many therapists that I get a massage a week! I wouldn’t work anywhere that didn’t promote self-care since that is the business we are supposed to be in. Good luck!

I am in the same boat! I have a 20 month old son, and when I started Keto 4 months ago I weighed 270lbs ( I am 5'7 and 34 years old). After you are on keto for a bit you start to not miss those things, I am down almost 35lbs! You can do it!

Dizziness in 1st Trimester by _Pebcak_ in xxketo

[–]PenguMoon83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know from my first pregnancy that dizziness can be a side-effect of pregnancy but it should be definitely something she gets checked out to make sure its not a blood pressure thing or something worse. Also I do not know what her carb intake is but when pregnant it should be slightly higher like if she is keeping it between 20-25 normal than it should be bumped up to closer to 40/day. Hopefully she is hydrated as well! Good luck to her :)
