HM Massage

How much of a session is hands-on now? Do tools take away from the craft, or are they just a better way to get the job done?

Trick: I found a knot. Treat: it’s about to be gone 👻
This shirt clip is from my full spooky-to-soothing hand massage on YouTube. I hope you enjoy and happy Halloween 🎃

Your forearm pronators turn your palm down, the position your hand lives in all day at the keyboard or mouse. Here’s a technique to release them.
🎃 Trick or treat: found a tight spot, and it’s about to be gone.

4 red flags at a massage job 🚩

If you’re a massage therapist, these are the signs I wish I’d taken more seriously before they wore me down:

1️⃣ Unpaid mandatory meetings. If they require you to be there, they should be paying you for your time.

2️⃣ Forced upselling. Your job is to take care of the client, not hit a sales quota. Pressure to push add-ons changes how you work and how clients feel.

3️⃣ Extra work without pay. Cleaning, laundry, and other tasks on top of your sessions, with no compensation for that time.

4️⃣ The boss dating an employee. This blurs boundaries and creates favoritism, and it can make the whole workplace feel unfair.

Your time and skills are worth more than that. Knowing what to watch for can save you months of frustration.

Calf tight and stuck? 🦵 Here’s how I release the peroneals and the calf muscles where they glue down along the tibia. Gentle separation work to restore glide, ease tightness, and improve ankle mobility. Try it and let me know how it feels!

Use this technique to create space ✨ between the low back!
