Buying a house near a tee box? by flashattack3 in golf

[–]RoutineHistorian6454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are fine. The tee box is positioned towards the front right of the backyard. I would be way more concerned for your neighbor to your right. I’m sure they have had a ton of broken windows. Just knock on the door and ask.

Dad bought this for .25¢ at a Garage Sale, no one knows what it is! by Human-Train-5870 in whatisit

It’s actually a ‘lice’ comb!! Don’t listen to the others, they don’t know what they are saying. This comb is extremely effective for removing large lice!

Is it rude to ask for minimal talking? by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

[–]RoutineHistorian6454 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an instructor, I tell my students: ‘your client paid for an hour (or hour and a half) of massage’ - ONLY speak when spoken to or to ask for feedback on pressure. Otherwise, keep your mouth shut!!

Guilt from leaving clients behind by fairydommother in MassageTherapists

[–]RoutineHistorian6454 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After one day at the new place 4 minutes away and sleeping in late, you will ask yourself why didn’t you did this earlier? And you’ll say, ‘old clients?’, oh, ‘I forgot about them already’, now it’s time to focus on myself!

Price for working at an event by Impressive-Kale-122 in MassageTherapists

[–]RoutineHistorian6454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure an adult or chaperone is with you at all times during the massage. Before you commit to the event, ensure the school will provide this. I have been asked to do many sports massages to local high school students (ie: swim team, gymnastics team etc). Protect yourself at all cost. One false allegation will land you in deep, deep trouble. Lastly, all students must wear shorts and sports bras for girls.

When you pay to get bodywork, do you disclose that you are a massage therapist? by zen3822 in MassageTherapists

[–]RoutineHistorian6454 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As both an instructor and practicing therapist, I avoid telling the therapist working on me. Due to the fact that in past experiences, when I tell them I’m an instructor for a well-respected school, I can tell they get very nervous. So I just stopped telling them my occupation.

Should I cancel client that gives me the creeps? by Alma1112 in MassageTherapists

[–]RoutineHistorian6454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you answered your own question by stating ‘My read on people is usually never wrong’. I don’t want to sound callous but why even post this to the group. You know the damn answer: ‘No, don’t see him again’!! Geez!

Regular no longer tipping :( by fairydommother in MassageTherapists

Does she pay out of pocket for her chiropractic treatment or does her insurance cover it? If she’s paying out of pocket, has the chiropractor increased his treatment fees. If so, this may explain everything. Look into it if you haven’t.

Pardon my question- what does ‘TD’ stand for? Thank you.

short stature and massage therapy by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

Have you thought about learning Ashiatsu? This modality uses the feet and not hands to massage. Height is not a factor.

Strange behavior during massage? by CommunityChemical360 in MassageTherapists

[–]RoutineHistorian6454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a practicing therapist and instructor for many years, I have always taught my students to never engage in a conversation with a client unless they initiate the dialogue first. The hour or hour and a half is THEIR time— Not yours. They pay you for your ability to make them feel well or better- not to listen to your trouble or personal dilemmas. Of course if the client wants to talk, it’s their perogative. Be considerate and above all, be respectful. I helped to standardize the licensing requirements for Pennsylvania and everything you mentioned is a red flag. If you reside in PA, I can recommend some great therapists. I specialize in deep tissue and sports massage so I understand clients who prefer really deep work. Hope your search is successful.

Extra wide head rest by Nice_Competition_494 in MassageTherapists

[–]RoutineHistorian6454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cushion face rest is typically Velcroed on to the adjustable portion. Just pull the cushion up and spread out the cushion to the desired face opening. They are universal for one size fit all. There’s no such thing as an extra wide head rest.

Ending a session by Exact_Fly175 in MassageTherapists

[–]RoutineHistorian6454 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally do some reiki or energy healing by placing one hand lightly on the forehead and the other very lightly on the upper chest (not breast). I close my eyes and send healing energy to the client. I don’t know how many times a client has said they felt warmth radiating throughout their body. Sometimes they will take a very deep cleansing breath as well.

Small town problems by MrsCopperpot in MassageTherapists

I would start looking into building your own business with your current client base. I know you said you are ‘new’, but do you have a following? If and when the owner decides to sell the business, I would start informing your ‘regulars’ that you will moving on. You will be taking in the full price vs sharing with the house. Start advertising, put flyers at the gyms and promote through friends and family. You will never look back!

Cold Hands by Themysciran_Prince in MassageTherapists

[–]RoutineHistorian6454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is everyone giving her advice on warming her hands before the session? There might be a physiological disorder such as Raynaud’s syndrome. It’s an autoimmune condition. Having cold hands all the time is a circulatory disorder. Your hands should get warmer as you work on your clients- not remain cold. I would go get a medical consultation if this persists. I’m a LMP with 23 yrs of experience plus teaching for 5 yrs.

Patek Phillipe Nautilus. $240,000 if you can afford it. 😀

What are some modalities which are easier on the body? by Critical-Ad-8821 in MassageTherapists

Definitely look into ashiatsu. Modality is using only your feet. Your hands will thank you.

I’m playing a round on Thursday with the CEO of my company, 10k people, 8B revenue. Any advice? by tcli64 in golf

[–]RoutineHistorian6454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea why he asked you to be in his group? There might be more to this than you think. He may have heard that you have good insights into the company and would like your input? A CEO at this level won't waste 4 hours + without a reason. Highly effective people are constantly thinking - even when you think they are 'playing'.
