starting massage school soon, any tips?
hi all! i am posting this here and in r/MassageTherapists, not sure which one is best but thought i'd cover my bases.
i am starting massage therapy school later this month and i feel like i have finally found what i am supposed to be doing. however, i am worried because i know massaging is very hard on the body and specifically the hands.
i am starting PT tomorrow (finally!) and i wanted to see if there are any massage therapists with EDS that might have some tips for me in 1) things to work on in PT or 2) how to make massage a sustainable career with a body that doesn't work in my favor most of the time.
or even from people who are not massage therapists but are in professions that are hard on the body.
i appreciate any insights y'all can give me<3
