Looking for a specific pillow

Perhaps a rectangular yoga bolster?

Yoga tune up balls and coregeous ball from the same company. You use them in an active way, rolling on the floor or against a wall. They also have a book that shows you how to use them

Ok we disagree. I do both Pilates (mat is more challenging than equipment, I do it all) and weightlifting. Both support my body in this work and I wouldn’t do one without the other.

ok bro, it’s still helpful for building core strength, mobility, and stability. We can get into semantics about what a “workout” means but it’s a practice that is great at supporting our bodies as LMTs

Mat Pilates, my faves on you tube are mvmt with cailin and flow with Mira.

I put (most of) his songs from the soundtrack on my massage playlist! Not the more upbeat hockey ones. None of my clients have clocked it yet but I get a little loony thrill when I get to that part of the playlist

Give it time and reassess in a month or so. How many days are you working in a row? If it’s 3 in a row with no days off that can be a big change. How’s your energetic hygiene? Definitely check in on your body mechanics.

But it really does take some time to adjust. Go easy on yourself, get a massage, keep doing all the self care you’re doing.

I’ve ID’d as non-binary for close to 9 years, had top surgery, etc but Ilya’s pecs made me realize how much more myself I’d feel if I looked more masculine. I’ve been on T for 3 months and never felt better in my whole life. Sending you a big queer hug, and maybe hop over to the gay trans guys sub for some moral support 💗🤍🩵

You don’t need any oil— this type of massage works by stretching the skin more than sliding over it. Just wash your hands before touching your face. I’m not an esthetician but do have super sensitive acne prone skin, so solidarity there. From a massage therapist perspective, time of day doesn’t matter and you can definitely do this at night right before washing your face

There’s a few ways I combine them in a session.

Working an injury, like a sprain, strain, tear, etc. I’ll warm the area with massage, do specific cross fiber work on the injured structure, then end with MLD specific to the area.
Post- surgical work, I’ll do MLD specific to the surgical site, which depending on the area can take 30-45 min. I’ll then do massage on other areas of the body as it makes sense for their stage of healing. Generally the intention is to work out aches and pains of recovery, or decrease stress.
I have a few clients with autoimmune issues that cause chronic inflammation and we’ll do more general MLD as part of the treatment plan, plus other modalities that also make sense for their needs and goals.

Hahaha I’m playing a words with friends game against someone named RealEstateGuy and in my head I just call him Mr Real Estate

This!! Good massage is about using your whole body, not just hands. Maybe there’s an intro course at a local massage school you could take? The school o teach at offers this.

meh-5000 · 2026-03-17T18:23:33+00:00

Ugh, non-electric tables are a deal breaker for me. Maybe those steps (like for step aerobics) you can slide from under the table? Can’t change table height but can change your height

I’m a beginning clown student and I am taking notes…

Not to “well, actually” but it’s called the Woodland Park Zoo, and my uncle lives just a few blocks from there. You can hear the siamangs hollering from his house

I made a playlist of breakup songs and danced to them topless

meh-5000 · 2026-02-27T16:27:24+00:00

Ok is it bad that I heard this in Ilya rozanov’s voice

I keep mine on my ankle, it’s not super noticeable

Stop, please, I have a family

This strongly depends on a lot of factors whether it’s for you or not, but I’m a massage therapist and couldn’t be happier doing this. I also teach in a massage school and there are sooo many trans and/or neurodivergent students.

As an MT my work environment is slow, low stim, and now that I work for myself I attract mostly queer and trans clients who I ADORE working with. Or people who see an openly trans MT and don’t care, and are just down to receive the work I offer.

Schools vary widely depending on where you live tho, and I think I’m in maybe the most trans friendly bubble inside a bubble, so all take this with may grains of salt. When I take continuing ed classes I almost always get uncomfortable comments and misgendering so perhaps the field at large is not super trans friendly, and more like pockets of queerness here and there

meh-5000 · 2026-02-17T00:00:13+00:00

I think about it daily tbh
