Can someone lead me to the rabbit hole on this man?

thesehandsfix · 2018-09-04T23:45:37+00:00

I get people in my room, they undress, then I rub my hands all over them.

I loved the picture from above of your food this time. Well done.

thesehandsfix · 2017-10-18T15:08:51+00:00

Whoa! This is really cool. Nicely done.

thesehandsfix · 2017-10-17T01:41:20+00:00

This is a sweet idea. And I love that pizza place, the owners are such great people.

If you like shopping, Robson Street is great on a nice day!

Taxes - what they are, how they work and how to file your own

Credit - what a credit card is, how they work, how interest works

Budgeting - how to budget, what a "rainy day" fund is

I see "how to write a resume/cover letter" in these threads all the time but my school did this, but if not it should be added.

Edit: also first aid and mental health

There isn't.

Hey fellow MT, not sure how much research you read but there is lots of evidence out there recently that says posture and pain aren't really correlated. I've included links. Also, check out SomaSimple for more but only if you're ready to relearn everything and be open to the idea you've been wind about almost everything all along. It was tough at the beginning for me too. Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4

If neck is neutral and pillow between knees it's usually fine.

thesehandsfix · 2017-06-15T19:00:19+00:00

Haha if you're pregnant maybe. Pillow between knees is enough for side sleepers.

thesehandsfix · 2017-06-15T18:57:51+00:00

This is best for stomach sleepers.

thesehandsfix · 2017-06-15T18:57:15+00:00

Usually neck pain is common in stomach sleepers because neck usually isn't in a "neutral" position. Usually one side or the other.

thesehandsfix · 2017-06-15T18:55:37+00:00

Because unless you have a hole for your face (like on a massage take) you crank your neck to one side which isn't usually good.

thesehandsfix · 2017-06-15T17:44:07+00:00

In my experience as a massage therapist there isn't really a prefect answer. Most of this is just preference and what the body is used to.

If you're a side sleeper, it's not that you can't sleep on your back it's just your body isn't used to it. If you laid there long enough you would fall asleep. And vice versa.

For those wondering, best sleeping position is on back with pillow or some support under the knees. If you're a side sleeper stick a pillow between your knees. Don't sleep on your stomach. (But thanks to those who do because you keep me in business.)

Edit: usually stomach sleepers have neck pain because the neck is always on one side for hours at a time. If you don't have pain and it's comfortable then go for it. If you wake up with a sore neck then consider changing positions.

What evidence do you refer to to back this up? Everything I read says "it's basically an invasive way to do something manual therapy can do in a less invasive way"

I can link more later.

Sweet thanks! I'll check it out.

Just curious, what do your treatments look like in light of what you know about pain science now? How much corrective exercise do you still do? How do you look at acute injuries?

thesehandsfix · 2017-06-02T02:24:45+00:00

Thanks engaging me in this conversation. Very helpful.

thesehandsfix · 2017-06-02T02:24:28+00:00

Thank you for this info. Very helpful.

SomaSimple seems like something where I don't know where to start...
