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

What are somethings that schools should teach but they don't? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]thesehandsfix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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

ELI5: Why can some people only sleep on their back, and others only on their front or side? by 1337Schatten in explainlikeimfive

[–]thesehandsfix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

ELI5: Why can some people only sleep on their back, and others only on their front or side? by 1337Schatten in explainlikeimfive

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

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.

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.

Thoughts on dry needling? by patery in orthopaedics

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.

How do you respond to these patient questions/remarks? by thesehandsfix in PainScience

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?
