Thanks Becca,
Yes, I know all about those stubborn knots. My husband has shoulders that alternate between wood and stone, the hands certainly take a beating.
Hope you get some pampering after a rough day like this.

I used to work at a ‘discount’ place and frequently in my head:

If you wanted really deep work, why did you come to the cheapest place in town, and then get the swedish- the cheapest thing we offer? This is WORK, you know!

Some others: I can’t give you your full session if you insist on coming 10 minutes late EVERYTIME!!

I really hope my regular 5:00 is over their cold- I could use their funny stories today!

I knew I should’ve gone to the washroom before this session!

They really need to stretch more- what’s the best way to convince them I can’t fix this by myself?

And Lorinda- I have these thoughts all the time, but they only take about 30 seconds of each session- I promise the rest of the time is goofy-faced tongue out, finger-focused, figuring out that stubborn knot so they can relax! But those thoughts aren’t any fun to share!

I hope this was intended to be a bit of satire.
IF massage therapies actually think this way, I’m going to have to have a chat with my therapist.
Personaly as a energy therapist, my thoughts are in the moment and wondering how I can make my client’s experience the best it can be.
