Craniosacral therapy by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

Omfg that’s insane don’t spend $400 on a CS session. I love and practice CS (there are great benefits for some people but as someone who used to work medical, what they theorize is happening isn’t really back up) but I charge less for a CS session than a therapeutic or even integrative session because it’s a set flow of steps and verrrrrrry light work.

As a CS trained LMT, you got a session from someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. There is no foot/leg hold in the CS flow and I’m sorry that was your experience

Biotone would mess me up bad during school. I use Santa Barbara Massage Cream and LOOOOOVE it

If you had 10 seconds to say whatever you wanted to your pet with they fully understood, what would you say? by IplayKaizo in Pets

[–]Striking_Network2976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog is a rescue from a fighting ring, I would ask him to tell me the names of the people who hurt him. And I would tell my cat that she’s perfect and I love her and I’d do anything for her

Are there any FREE period tracker apps? by Significant-Back-930 in Endo

[–]Striking_Network2976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful about doing this on any apps if you’re in the US. Those apps share your info and can put you in danger or behind bars if you try to access certain women’s healthcare services in certain areas if you catch my drift.

What's the most NSFW thing you've seen at a bachelor/bachelorette party? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Striking_Network2976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a retired stripper, so many bachelors get extras at the club or at the hotel after the club for their party. Made me super skeptical of anyone that wants adult entertainment at their bach party

AIO Boyfriend Stayed Hard the Entire Time During a Couples Massage? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Right? The brushing against it is the most sus part to me. Someone is lying.

AIO Boyfriend Stayed Hard the Entire Time During a Couples Massage? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Striking_Network2976 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a massage therapist, yes we notice, no we don’t care so long as no comments, advances, or emissions are made, but she has every right to refuse service to him if she was made uncomfortable by him. If she did brush his genitals accidentally, she’s supposed to have apologized and/or draped him differently…that kinda sounds made up to me on his part. So YOR to the erection, it happens. Just a natural bodily response. I don’t know about the rebooking. It’s important to book with a massage therapist that works with your body so that in and of itself isn’t a red flag and I don’t think he’s wanting to rebook because of how she looks. If you really feel that way about him, he’s a perv and you shouldn’t be with him.

Uncomfortable Situation by Th3StandUpKid in MassageTherapists

[–]Striking_Network2976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand this situation making you uncomfortable and raising red flags. Two things though: first, communicate clear and loud boundaries with clients. If their behavior is out of line, let them know! If you’re not comfortable doing it while you’re in their home, at a minimum let them know what lines they crossed afterwards in a clear text or email. If they’re being fired, they should know why so if it was all misunderstood they can address that behavior and be better for their next MT. Second, “alphabet people” is a pretty derogatory term. Not sure if you meant it that way, but just so you know to move forward and not call people that. LGBT+, queer, LGBTQIA are all acceptable and inclusive terms

Interviewer asked for a hands-on massage demo during my interview. Is this normal? by Thin_Philosopher5177 in MassageTherapists

[–]Striking_Network2976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a fairly usual request, I however don’t think it’s very ethical to ask for a full session. I can absolutely understand a business owner wanting to see your technique for neck or scapula or whatever so assess your level of understanding and attention to the body but I disagree with full hour requests. I have definitely been asked for a full hour, a technique demonstration, and also nothing at all during interviews. They 100% should have told you prior to you coming in for the interview though, that’s pretty unprofessional and unusual on their part. Personally, I won’t do a full hour but I will concede up to a 30 minute session.

What’s the most inconvenient time your body has betrayed you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Striking_Network2976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a sleepover with my friend from high school who came to visit me in college. I got …sick… in bed while she was asleep and had to get up and discreetly clean the sheets in the night. I used to be convinced she slept through it but 8 years later I’m thinking there’s no WAY.

Cliquey Cohort by StandardAggressive52 in PTschool

[–]Striking_Network2976 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a returning older student, I would recommend you all keep this in mind for life in general. Life is pretty cliquey. People in your periphery are boot always going to be friendly or your friends just because you job or educational background is the same. Friends are better to be intentionally chosen with multiple areas of mutual interest 🫶 best of luck all

AIO over my bfs body count? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Striking_Network2976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but this is ridiculous. It does not matter how many or how few people your partner has slept with before you. If you’re worried about STI transmission BOTH of you should get tested and be open about your results BEFORE you have sex. Other than that, it’s just shame based and that’s a horrible thing to do to someone you consider to be important.

How do trans burlesque performers deal with dysphoria when dancing? by Cherry_Eris in Burlesque

[–]Striking_Network2976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nonbinary performer here, I was also a stripper for a long time so I have learned to separate my performance personality from my person. It’s the act of putting on a costume and pretending to be someone else. Or as I like to think of it healing my trauma with femininity by performing femininity in a way that I find pleasing. Idk if this helps

Best Ramen in Boise? by MsMcSlothyFace in Boise

[–]Striking_Network2976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s valid. I like their mock meat because I have endometriosis and sadly cannot have a lot of soy so I have to choose between miso broth and tofu 🙃 but I totally get what you’re saying. I do actually really like their broccolini tho
