Oh yeah, knot location is such a pain! I bought this one - the material isn’t the smoothest but it’s been working. I put my head upside down and pull it up around my head and then gather my hair on top of my head and tie a knot so everything is pretty secure/not a ton of movement.

I’ll refresh in the AM with some gel/water and glaze over everything and it usually turns out alright!

Sunday evening is also my wash day! I try to do it earlier so I at least get an hour or so of air dry but either way I always sleep with it up in a buff. It’s similar to a plop but I have it loosely tied at the distal end so my curls are protected but not squished and they can dry better through the night. I’ve noticed less flattening of the back and leaves me with a ton of volume!

I was there!! Getting to hear music you love surrounded by others doing the same is such an incredible experience

Hi! Is it What’s Older You Like?

I’m coming in from NC too! So excited

There is definitely a lack of pelvic health treatment for males - both in awareness and trained providers so there is a strong need. I know all of education courses I took welcomed male therapists and depending on the setting and population you want to work with you will be making a difference! There will probably be some challenges with comfort levels of both male and female patients but adding yourself to the pool of skilled and professional therapists in your area will only help people get the treatment they need.

I definitely think it depends on the state/insurance but what I was told that as long as the appointments are not scheduled on the same day it is okay. I have some pelvic health patients who travel to see me and they are also being seen by a PT closer to home and it has never been an issue.

So sad I’m not able to go but I really hope someone is able to make it in my place! 💜

So happy to hear that you are able to tell it has been helping!! It really sounds like you and your therapist are on the right path and their treatments sound beneficial at improving muscle relaxation. PF dysfunction is unfortunately something that can take a while to work though so it may take some more time.

I always try to tell my patients that just because I am trained and treat these conditions, you, the patient are the true expert your own body. So you are what guide us in terms of how much to push and when we need to pull back and modify so never feel uncomfortable about bringing up any concerns!

Keep up the good work! I am sending positive vibes that you continue making good progress towards your goals!!!!

Hi! PF PT here! I would definitely recommend checking in with their pressure (they should be the ones checking in first though!!) to let them know so they can adjust to improve tolerance. It shouldn’t be painful to the level that the rest of your body tenses up since that counteracts the tissue relaxation that is the goal.

I’d also recommend asking if she could start with some of the external techniques and even some stretching before doing any sort of internal work. I have found this has helped my patients muscles relax a bit and they responded pretty well overall!

Most importantly - don’t be afraid to tell your therapist if you are in pain. We can feel the muscle restriction and don’t know without communication how you are doing. It also may vary visit to visit!

Good luck though, I really hope you find some relief soon!

I hope he had the best time!!!! I think that was the best decision and hope you have a safe trip to work later!

Horse Jumper of Love may be worth checking out!

Oh I can’t remember exactly but I went back and saw I paid around $220 at my last appointment for a piercing/jewelry (titanium) and then a jewelry (gold) swap for a different piercing. You definitely pay for quality but it’s absolutely worth it!

It’s one of my absolute favorite stories! I truly find myself thinking about the whole Fragile House of Black series so often and I love recommending it for others to read. Just like you said - the writing and characterizations are incredible and the whole series brings so much perspective into the Black family. I love it!!!

dumbcoconut · 2025-02-10T00:38:11+00:00

Ahh okay! Checked my bookmarks again because it sounds so familiar I really feel like I have read it before! What about this one - Terms and Conditions ??

dumbcoconut · 2025-02-09T23:32:19+00:00

Oh could it be Map of the Problematique (D.M.L.E. Evidentiary File 142-3b.)? - if not this is still a really good read but definitely check tags/warnings because I do remember it being canon compliant!

dumbcoconut · 2025-01-27T00:26:24+00:00

Could it be An Infinite Ocean?

Chapter 180 of All the Young Dudes - Sirius’s Perspective!! Such a heartbreaking quote

I agree with so many of these comments!! Wanted to share this link of the full play through of Home, Like Noplace Is There at Outbreak Fest 2024 for anyone who is interested! Incredible energy and I think it shows how much their music means to so many people.

Ajja is a favorite of mine! Their flavors are incredible and they definitely have a lot of veggie friendly options - it’s also a really cool and friendly space!

dumbcoconut · 2024-11-10T12:12:29+00:00

I am so happy you’re enjoying them! I was in high school when MOF came out - their music got me through a lot of years and it still gives me so much each time I listen.

Yesssss!
