The Less You Give A Damn…
Happy Tuesday!
The gluteus medius is the outer of the three glute muscles. Most often ‘tight hips’ are associated with what is actually a tight gluteus medius, which comes from sitting, running, sitting, and modern life. A bursa sac separates the muscle from the upper trochanter, ie thigh bone. Excessive tightness of the gluteus medius can irritate the bursa sac and the itb.
Understand your muscles to understand your pain.
Last night was the first massage I did since graduating from school and the first I’ve gotten paid for. Since I’ve decided that I do not want to work at Massage Envy or a spa, I’m attempting to start my own mobile massage business.
The massage itself went well for the most part. I massaged a friend who is a runner and former coworker. She seemed pretty happy with the massage.
The tricky part was lugging my table ans supplies to her home. I have an Oakworks Nova and that thing is heavy! I believe its about 37 pounds…..a lot to take up and downstairs. In addition to my table, I had my sheets, blanket, table fleece and holster & oil in a rolling duffle bag. I have to find a better carrying case for my supplies. I also found out last night that once I put my table in my trunk, there really isn’t room for anything else.
Overall it was a good first run of what I hope to be many more. I got a chance to really see what goes into doing mobile massage and I got paid for it :)
One thing I will certainly look into is getting a true portable table. I need to take a ride to see an Oakworks Wellspring and an Earthlite table….anything to lighten the load.
