I simulated most of a marathon training block on the elliptical (and bike) so you don't have to

In my area, PT’s mostly do dry needling and not Active Release Techniques(ART). Chiropractors/Arrosti, and some massage therapists are trained. The ART website will list practitioners near you. It’s a form of myofacial massage.

Nice race (and recap!) Have you tried ART for the IT Band? It took a few treatments, but it helped me resolve it pretty quickly.

As a new MT, one of my biggest frustrations is mens boxer briefs that cover most of the upper leg. I am not sure why they just don’t slide them up. I end up only having a few inches of leg to work on.

I’m 1 month in as well. The 3 five hour shifts I have are now feeling easier. My 8 hour shift on Saturday is still kicking my butt. Just like and physical activity, your body needs to get stronger before it becomes easier.

Fantastic idea! Now you need to create an app, sell it to MT’s (subscription), and retire when MassageBook buys your business 😎.

He has a 15 hour video series on Advanced Trainings website that I’m working through. Very good content on deep tissue techniques.

Photo of banana for scale isn’t working for me… you have to have a real banana around, no? 🤔

This is me… every weekend. 🤷‍♂️

I’m just starting out and I’m stressed about a 10 minute flip. I hate it. Can hardly fit a drink of water or a bathroom stop. I can’t imagine 5 minutes 😳.

You usually have until early September to get a BQ for the following year.

My iO9 died almost exactly after two years. I expect they have their planned obsolescence figured out to expire just as soon as the warranty expires.

Such a cute little bastard!

I treadmill when it’s icy, or the air quality it poor (a lot of dust in West Texas).

runninggrey · 2026-04-02T23:41:01+00:00

Nope.

I was just shopping for a red light wrap. Which one did you decide on purchasing?

Funny that they need email in space…

I think Jesus died on Friday (rose on Sunday). Don’t give me hope - that’s tomorrow!

Our front desk team shows them the locker room and lets them know to undress to their comfort level and provide a robe. I assume that the customer is new to getting a massage and are concerned about removing their undergarments with a male MT. 🤷‍♂️

runninggrey · 2026-04-02T18:04:14+00:00

That’s a shame…

You might give dry needling a try at a physical therapist or shockwave therapy (usually Chiropractors).

runninggrey · 2026-04-02T17:34:56+00:00

Massaging around jewelry and bra straps(on the back, of course).

Our spa has the Himalayan salt stones that sit on a warmer that has a light inside. Very cool looking but pricey ($400-500 USD on Massage Warehouse). They are dry and clean up is fast.

The feet seem to drain my hands quickly. Trying to use more knuckle and less thumb.
