massage and bodywork professionals

a community of practitioners

I'm kinda curious what other busy pros do before/after a client/patient? Beside the obvious, of course, do you sip tea, eat something? Stretch? Nap? I seriously have only 5-10 minutes, and am wondering if I could get some ideas. I do some stretches, and ice massage my hands now already, help a pro out! Thanks a lot!

I usually would:

  1. Breathe and stretch while waiting for client
  2. Check in with my body and mind after post session chat
  3. Respond to whatever needs I found there.

If I haven't been getting sufficient rest it'll come up here with my body saying "I'm sleepy" --> MOVEMENT! :)

If my mind is over active --> My five minute centering ritual

If my body is sore --> more stretching

If I'll emotional for any reason --> Either socialize with coworkers or walk outside and take in some trees, birds, clouds, flowers and ambient noise to take me out of it.

 

Enjoy your 5 minutes! ;-)

Thanks, sometimes I forget about the breathing! That helped!
Hooray! :)
