| Florida is not legally open for massage! Posted: 15 May 2020 11:02 AM PDT Gov. DeSantis stated we are in full phase 1. This means gyms are open starting Monday and restaurants can operate at 50% capacity. Massage/Spas should not be open for those services. I've gotten clarification from Orange County, Seminole County and the Florida Massage Board. As it stands, a place I work plans on opening. I wont be there and I'll let them know why in many words.

| Posted: 15 May 2020 11:40 PM PDT Phase 2 is suppose to open up on Monday, May 18th & it's been crickets. Nothing from the governor, or the Tdlr website as far as an update to let us know if we WILL reopen. I'm an employee at a massage establishment, my boss is prepared to open on May 18th, but so far there have been no updates. I know for phase 1 gov. Abott gave a conference a few days before phase 1 started. So, I'm surprised that it's been real quiet regarding phase 2. Just checking in to know if anyone knows where we stand as far May 18th being the opening date. [link] [comments] |
| I don’t know how I’m supposed to do fascial work with gloves& Oregon stage 1 feels Posted: 15 May 2020 02:00 PM PDT First of all - yes I'm gonna wear gloves. But I legit have no fucking clue what I'm going to do. Just using one glove when I've had a cut on my hand fucked up my ability to work with fascia, I've built my entire practice around fascial work, it's what people see me for and I'm at a loss. Is anyone else in my situation? Anyone have tips for how to do fascial work with gloves? Second thing - any other LMTs in Oregon feeling like us going back in phase 1 is a really stupid risk? We should be in phase 2 like the rest of the west coast. Can we do something to push us to phase 2? High contact jobs should not be fucking first. Thanks y'all! [link] [comments] |
| Embarrassed To Get a Massage Again Due To An Incident Posted: 15 May 2020 08:33 AM PDT So, last year I finally decided to try out a massage and really enjoyed it after never thinking I would. I've been going to different LMTs during the time to get a different idea of who I prefer most as I'm new to it. Anyway, in early March pre shutdown, I booked an appointment with a really well reviewed LMT on Thumbtack. The massage was going well and she really had a nice technique, although she did have me start face up which was new to me, it didn't bother me. Unlike other LMTs, she started working really low on my stomach, like well below my belly button. When she moved to my pelvic region, her hand accidentally touched my genitals which unfortunately caused me to have a "reaction." This was probably the 7th massage I've had and the first time this happened to me. Well, when she moved to my side and when she adjusted the sheet, "it" popped out in to the open. She quickly adjusted the sheet and I apologized and that seemed like the end of it. I was able to regain control and the massage resumed normally after that. When I got home, I received a thumbtack message from her saying that due to my "obvious arousal" that she wouldn't be accepting appointments from me any longer. I couldn't believe it, I felt so mortified. I really didn't feel like it was my fault as I know it's normal for men to react and I felt it was her fault for not paying attention to what she was touching and poor draping techniques. This was the third LMT I've seen and I didn't have issues with the other two, so I'll likely just go back to one of them, but now the whole experience has me second guessing myself. Is she acting really unreasonable? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 May 2020 05:55 PM PDT Hi everyone A long time ago I had a tool which was great for beating out knots, I called it a boinger. It was a hollow rubber ball on a metal stalk with a wooden handle. Basically you would bounce the ball against the knot in your, or your friends muscle, since it was on the metal stalk it would bounce by just a flick of the wrist. It's very effective. I could usually find it in Asian stores but with being on the road I'll have to find it online but I don't know what it is called and Google shows me everything but. I was hoping you good people could help me. Thank you in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Buying equipment for reopening Posted: 15 May 2020 09:28 AM PDT Where are you all finding your supplies. Trying to order from massage warehouse and lots of things are back ordered. I'm in NYS, upstate, worried I won't have what I need by the time we are allowed to open. I was able to buy a Hepa filter air purifier from amazon and a reusable mask, several new top blankets from amazon. But I still need. - disinfectant sprays (ordered, but back ordered) - hand sanitizer - moisture barrier for table and face cradle (ordered but back ordered) - disposable masks Also if you have any recommendations on places to buy cheap scrubs? Are we thinking it's best to change between each client? If there is anything I didn't mention that you also think I should consider, lemme know! - I didn't say gloves.. because I don't really ever work on faces and if I'm washing my hands constantly, is it truly necessary? Wishing you all the best! [link] [comments] |
| Anybody here from Washington State? Posted: 15 May 2020 12:37 PM PDT I don't know when I'm allowed to start seeing my regular clients again. I'm afraid that if I start too soon my insurance will not cover me if someone tries to sue me. I spend hours on the internet trying to find some shred of information so that I can tell my clients when I can start booking them, but always come up empty. My county has had only 2 cases of covid and zero deaths. We were approved to move into Phase 2. Phase 2 personal services are listed as hair stylists, estheticians, tattoo artists, ECT... And below that it says "Personal services" does not include those regulated by Washington's Department of Health, such as massage therapy, acupuncture, physical therapy, and chiropractic. So I call the DOH directly and they had no answer for me on when I could start. They literally only had the information that I had access to myself. The answer of when can I start was along the lines of.. "well, you should be phase 2... But you might not be until phase 3 or 4...". What?? This is literally the department that holds my license. If they don't have my answer, then who does?? I'm not afraid of going back to work because of the virus... I'm afraid of going back to work because of all of these GRAY AREAS!! I love my clients. I love my little clinic in my small town. But I will NOT open myself up to lose my license, my career, my families future. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 May 2020 11:06 PM PDT Even as I sit here, I can feel a strange numbness in my middle right toe. I think I broke some toes a few years ago and they've been giving me grief. I wish I could dance all night pain free but alas, my 3rd and 4th toe bones feel misaligned no matter what shoes I wear. Sometimes they hurt so much I can't walk but that's only after a ton of activity. I have tried toe spacers but I haven't noticed any lasting benefits. Bg info: I'm a healthy 20 year old girl. Only complaints are my crackly joints and TMJ disorder and related jaw pain. I am double jointed and have anxiety which my old massage therapist thought could be related, or maybe it was the cracking joints lol. I would love lots of advice because I'm sheltering at home and get my exercise by taking long walks. [link] [comments] |
