As someone who could be considered a “jack of all trades” I understand the back aches, the sore legs, the tired hands, and the overall exhaustion we experience on the day to day.
I have worked in the forest removing invasive species, creating new habitat for new forest growth.
I have worked as a landscaper, digging into soil that felt like concrete to plant thousands of plants that may or may not make it.
I’ve world as a farmer, feeding animals, cleaning pens, doctoring the sick, and welcoming the new babies into this life.
I have worked as a horse trainer and riding instructor, where I have worked with wild horses to the gentleness of the giants, I have started and given horses a new start.
I have even worked in a warehouse, where aches and pains meant nothing to the higher ups, and had to put my head down and push through 10 hour plus shifts if the work place called for it.
But.
I have also felt the aches and pains of being stationary.
I have worked as a wrapper in a meat processing facility where I stood for hours on end on concrete.
I have worked as a receptionist in a dental office where I barely moved out of my uncomfortable chair while my knees were aching
I worked as a receptionist/kennel tech for a veterinarian where I stood almost all day checking in clients and helping when needed.
I have worked so many places and understand the aches and pains my clients come to see me about.
Not every ache or pain is the same for everyone, and that’s where communication comes into play when you come in for your massage session. Explain where you believe it’s coming from, what actions hurt the most, if the pressure is too much or too light…communication is important in massage therapy
