But I now need bodies (live ones!) to practice on.
So for massage don't your hands get tired and develop carpel tunnel or anything like that?

Edit: I've split this off of the workout thread so we don't derail it. Plus we get our own space to chat about massage!�Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.�

Re: Massage Therapy thread
I have only had a massage once when I injured my back at work,it was work related so they sent me to therapy. I never could afford it on my own,and the massage was really soothing.
I can understand why people get it done on a regular basis,it was soooooooo relaxing and therapeuticMAGIC is MAGIC,black OR white or even blood RED

However, you can find very affordable massages if you look outside of the previously mentioned settings. I get monthly 60 minute Deep Tissue massages at my Chiropractors office and I only pay $50. That's less than $1 a minute. $1/min seems to be a typical average for non-spa massages. My massages aren't covered by my insurance, unfortunately. But I hear Blue Cross Blue Shield is pretty good about it. I think Medicare is (or will be) covering it. (I don't know much about that yet. Haven't really done any Admin training on that. I don't think that's part of my schooling since every clinic/office does things differently and various depending on city/state/country requirements.)
Just to clarify, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Spa Massages. I have received several in the past and plan on doing so again in the future. There's a time and place... Pampering is certainly still a great form of relaxation and I would hate to see Spa Massages go away. But in my personal experience, I get just as much out of a clinical massage as a spa massage. Perhaps even a bit more because I have the same Massage Therapist for every one of my massages whereas when I go to a Spa, I'm likely to get a different person every time.�Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

Re: Massage Therapy thread
I used to get massage therapy for my back injury but it was a waste of time. Driving to the appointment insured that my back was well abused by the time I got there and after the ride home negated the good work the therapist did. After discussing it with the therapist he agreed that it was a waste of time.The Dragon sees infinity and those it touches are forced to feel the reality of it.
I am his student and his partner. He is my guide and an ominous friend.

Re: Massage Therapy thread
No referrals. It was probably too soon after the accident anyway. It was in the first year after the accident and the following year the pain therapist put me on Methadone for long term pain management. He and my doctor figured I would be on it for life.

Re: Massage Therapy thread
Thai Yoga is my preferred method of giving massage (I am a massage therapist as of 2012). Passive yoga allows for the receiver to be manipulated into postures and get the most out of them because they don't have to use their muscles to hold themselves in the posture, they also use a lot of different techniques that help keep the body mechanics of the practitioner healthy and aligned.
