Great Info! As a fellow LMT I can attest to the difference that the hydraulic table makes. In school we didn't have them and it was difficult for me (standing at 5' 0") to correctly position myself for heavier clients who wanted deeper pressure on their backs. When I got to a franchise, I was mind blown. I love those tables!!!!
Yes! The table makes all the difference. I honestly would not still be doing this work without it. Especially when I was working through pregnancy, I can’t imagine the strain on my back if I couldn’t adjust the height throughout the session!
I’m so impressed with the table you have. I have a standard table and would really like a table like yours. I also use a table warmer which is a must and use essential oils with every service at no extra charge, a hot face towel and an essential oil mixed with jojoba for the face. Another thing I incorporate are homemade rice heat packs that I heat up in towel warmer. It takes a few hours for them to heat up but a microwave will also work a lot faster. Sometimes I put a few extra towels in for clients that might have stinky feet and hot towel their feet before I apply massage cream. I prefer cream over oil because it has a smoother glide but I do add my secret sauce to each cream. It is a pain reliever that is Drops: 12 wintergreen 10 marjoram 8 basil 8 lavender 5 cypress 5 peppermint Cut with carrier oil in roller size bottle. This pain reliever works exceptionally well plus it’s good for my hands while working. If I messaged you at your channel name plus gmail could I reach you through email? Have a Facebook or Instagram account?
The table makes all the difference. I was really lucky to buy it second hand from a friend many years ago for only $700. I would easily pay double that or more because it is worth every penny. I love using hot towels and stones! I’ve never done rice packs in my towel warmer but I do use them in the microwave! Thanks for sharing your pain relief recipe! I love marjoram and wintergreen for muscle strain. I also like to add copiaba and black pepper. CBD is another thing I’ll add to help with pain and have great results! I do have an email amothersnature11@gmail.com you can feel free to message me there 😁
That’s So exciting! It is definitely a lot to learn (more than I thought before beginning!) but so fascinating and fulfilling! Wishing you all the best in your studies!
I have another video talking about the different things you will learn in school and what my experience was like, and then what the process of becoming licensed is like after school as well- you may enjoy that one as well it’s called “how to become a massage therapist” ❤️
