Have you ever had that feeling? I have and to me it feels like drifting on a cloud.

Oh no, you are running late!! Whatever the reason, you just cannot make it on time. Like many massage therapists, I usually schedule clients with a 30 minute break between appointments. That break gives me time to discuss the session with the client and write my chart notes. I also have an opportunity to eat or drink something, take a bathroom break, check the phone for messages, and get the room ready for the next client.

What the heck was that? Several clients have asked me about it at the end of their sessions, but I find more are asking about it during the massage. Sometimes they are not sure if they are feeling my finger, knuckle, elbow or ...?

About a month ago I had a client who cried during and after massage. I immediately stopped what I was doing to see if the client was in physical distress and to ask if I needed to stop the session. My client asked for a tissue, said there was no pain, and wanted the massage to continue, saying she felt much better. Once the session was over, the client teared up again. She stated she was very surprised by the onset of tears.

Assume a slouching position. Some of us are already in that position, right? See how your lower back is rounded and your head and neck are falling forward? See how your head is forward of the center of your shoulder and your center of gravity has shifted.
