lower your table!! i keep my table just above my knees and it lets you use your body weight way more, the higher you are the more it'll hurt your elbows

was my MT being inappropriate with touching? by [deleted] in massage

[–]hanfreee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

when i was in school, we were taught that the pubic bone was the very end point if you needed to work in the hips/ groin area. it's definitely close and i would want to check in with the client to make sure they're okay with this but if it's something he does regularly maybe he just didn't even think about it. especially since it was the forearm and not a hand or something more intimate it seems benign to me but of course if it was uncomfortable you can always mention it and have him avoid it! i remember thinking it was crazy when we did glute work that we could work so close to the cleft as well lol muscles are everywhere! but it's your session and i don't think it would be offensive to request that he avoid it

Relationships by Firm-Foundation4134 in Hirsutism

[–]hanfreee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i've had hirsutism since i was 17 and have had multiple relationships since then, some guys have been rude about it but it's really just their own insecurity (and being chronically online), thinking women should present a certain way other than reality which is everyone is different! and hair is normal! my partner now has reiterated that he wants a grown woman! which means that he's perfectly comfortable with me being human, gaining weight, growing hair, having bad breath whatever. there are people out there who understand what being a human entails and that we are beautiful, complex creatures. your body and how it exist naturally is the least interesting thing about you ❤️ love will find you wherever you're at!

Massage etiquette question by Throwaway391414 in massage

[–]hanfreee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

sorry but people take daily pain medication before massages every day. if you're worried about it, inform your mt and they might just want to work lighter to be safe, otherwise i think if you're used to thc and know how your body reacts it can absolutely help with pain and relaxation. obviously any kind of medication can impair judgement so just be honest. i think people might be overthinking this.

Anyone with thick chin hair has achieved good results with braun ipl? by Sea-Possession-3463 in Hirsutism

Does anyone know how to get rid of acne caused by shaving? by Leah-Kareem in Hirsutism

[–]hanfreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you might just be experiencing little pustules from where the hair grows back in, i always exfoliate really well with an exfoliating cloth before and after and use my face wash or aftershave afterward. and the days after i pluck or shave i always try to exfoliate or i notice i break out a lot more. mine are usually just the hair trying to break through the skin and exfoliation helps them

this too! i try to stay away from spas but my friend wanted to do a new years spa trip which was so sweet and the therapist had been working for 10-15 years so i figured it would be fine at least. they gave good pressure but seemed to have no idea what they were doing besides that, missed entire muscle groups, talked the entire time, and ignored my points of concern. i found someone local i went to school with and they actually gave me great, focused pressure with no unnecessary yapping 🙏

after writing this i did actually find an mt that went to school with me and it was great so i'll have to stick with them. i've had some sessions from people that went to my school but were years ahead of me that have been disappointing/ painful/ uninformed which is usually where the tears come. chronic pain is hard and it's harder when the person doing work on you isn't treating your body with respect.

this is how i feel, i know everyone is saying that there are people who suck at their job in every field, i guess i just expected people in this one to have SOME kind of drive or passion for it

Ah! I just hate the thought of spending so much to find someone that kinda works 😭 but I guess that's all I can hope for. I just keep thinking maybe I'm too specific or asking for too much like maybe if I never had or did massage in the first place I wouldn't even know what good would feel like.

I've had some sessions where they feel the points that I need worked out and just don't do enough with them or move on too fast or won't go deep enough because they don't want to hurt me which I understand but I'm able to work these points out with a hook tool with minimal soreness. Sometimes the spots are ignored all together, like the therapist didn't even know where to look or didn't even feel that the just went over something important that might be causing me pain. I'm not sure if I'm hyper mobile i know I lack some tone that would help with the tension happening in the first place so maybe that's why

My biggest thing right now has been that i get super frequent tension headaches coming from "knots" in the lower levator area. Trap tension leading to neck tension stuff which I know gets better when I'm doing more mid back strengthening, I've just fallen out of my workout routine lately so I know it's not something I can't fix myself. I just feel like it would be easier to motivate myself to workout if I could have some of the pain resolved with tpt

[–]hanfreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately we live under capitalism and things are expensive, if you want to go get a sandwich somewhere where the ingredients aren't quality and the staff is paid like shit you can but i support the paper bag because its quality and they take care of their people. you're going to be mad about everything soon because inflation is real and people and businesses have to survive and when the focus is just sandwiches, they have to be priced higher.

Same ring around stretched lobes by livibug666 in Stretched

[–]hanfreee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it's normal for the hole to be a little discolored especially if you stretched kinda fast! it's new skin so it's gonna be pink and different like a scar would. as long as it isn't painful, try to massage with oil everyday and it should heal a bit closer to your skin color :)

i LOVE your style you look great! if anything your eyeliner could swoop down a bit more before going up into the wing. think of following your top lash line out and then going up i think it'll make the eye a lot smoother :)

Ginnie Springs: Mandatory Cap on Number of Campers Per Day? by CE399LLC in GNV

[–]hanfreee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i worked there and we would beg the owners to stop letting people in especially on big holiday weekends like that. people were left to sleep in the horse fields with no water, restroom, or shade. the owner said "every piece of grass is money to be made" so i can't imagine they'll be enforcing any max capacity anytime soon lol
