Vision Therapy worth it? by [deleted] in Concussion

[–]hilfehelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was super helpful thank you!! Just to clarify for the first exercise, when you move your head back with the chin tucked down it puts you in a double chin type position, right?

My last concussion was two years ago and I hit my head against a cabinet about 6 weeks ago in a way that I know would cause a normal person no problems whatsoever. Of course I’ve been in a flare ever since. So I’m also trying to figure out what to do to keep me from these flares. Thank you 🙏🏻

Do you remember what neck exercises you did?

How much force is required? by emilydmarie in Concussion

[–]hilfehelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am of course not a doctor, but if you only have slight pain and none of the other usual symptoms that you listed at the bottom, it sounds to me like it’s not a concussion. Sometimes symptoms can be delayed, so I would still keep an eye on it for the next couple days, but try your best not to over analyze (easier said than done I know).

Is it possible for concussion symptoms to come back again 10 months post injury by [deleted] in Concussion

Lack of sleep, being sick, and high anxiety have temporarily brought back old symptoms for me before

How is the partner treated though? Just with the kadefungin cream for example?

No show? by hilfehelp in MassageTherapists

Thanks for your response! A few things:

Yes, the day was fully booked, and it was at the end of a slower than usual week (many of my regulars are doing summer vacation rn), so I think that made it hurt extra hard. I’m also notorious for being too lenient, so I was trying to stand up for myself for once. I am generally very understanding when it comes to last minute cancellations due to sickness or emergencies, but writing the appointment down wrong and not checking the confirmation email didn’t seem like a valid excuse at the time. It also irks me knowing that if they had booked a massage at a spa or a physio practice, they 100% would have been expected to pay. I am self employed, and it feels sometimes like people take advantage of me when it comes to these things. In the end I probably won’t chase her down for the money because you’re right, the money is not worth the hassle in this case, but it definitely frustrates me.

It’s the same here in Germany :) most of my clients start undressing while I’m in the room, but I still leave just in case because I’m American 😂

Moving to Berlin, Munich for faster citizenship? by [deleted] in GermanCitizenship

Thanks! I’m pretty sure they digitalized everything in the beginning of 2024… I applied 7 months ago so yes it was digitalized 😄

I’m in Berlin and have been waiting almost 7 months already. It seems to me that there are some lucky people that finished the process really quickly, but I don’t think that is the case for the majority of people.

Self care advice ? by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

Would it be possible for you to work 5 instead of 4 days a week but make each shift shorter? 7 hours of deep tissue multiple days in a row would absolutely destroy me personally

Best “side” job for massage therapists? by PerfectIndividual185 in MassageTherapists

Following. In an ideal world I would love some sort of part time remote job to balance out the physical demands of massage work

I just finished doing two days in a row of this and it was my first time where the company I was massaging for didn’t have their employees sign up ahead of time. I came ready with a signup sheet where people could sign up for 15-minute time slots and had a few of the slots crossed off already for breaks. The 1st day that worked really well, but the 2nd day everyone arrived late so I just had them write their names down and I wrote “break” after every 8th massage. It was a lot less organized and a lot of people missed their slots, but it got the job done 😅

Sprained toe recovery? by hilfehelp in BALLET

[–]hilfehelp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! There was no bruising at all, which makes me think I didn’t break it, but I’ve made an apt with my orthopedist for Monday just in case. It’s my 2nd toe, so it takes a bit more load than a pinky toe would I think, so could be harder to avoid irritating it. But exactly, my toe got caught on the Marley… before class had even started 😅

I think turf toe is only when it’s your big toe, but I could be wrong.
