[@mariamarquez1361]

do you need both quickbooks plus the self employed for the average RMT?

[@MassageSloth]

The self-employed package is self-contained, so if you already have a version of quickbooks that works for you, this will likely have some redundant features. I like QB self-employed because it guides me through categorizing all of my purchases (and setting up rules to do so automatically), and it will track your mileage via an app. It's cool, but not necessarily a big step up if you already have a system that works.

Is this version suitable for Australian tax record-keeping requirements?

[@ollerpops]

I’ve been a MT for 11+ years and I have to say, you’re an excellent therapist.

[@beautiful1gg]

Great..so glad your back..your a great teacher..my clients love me...I tell them "you can thank Ian"...lol..can you do a video on geriatric massage...I get a lot of older people over 60, who has trouble turning over, staying prone too long or even with hardware in them.

[@MassageSloth]

That's so kind, Suzie! And I'll give that some thought and see what I can come up with 🙂

[@beautiful1gg]

@@MassageSloth oh..thank you

[@michaelsurabian7523]

Over 60? I have not thought of myself as geriatric lol

[@beautiful1gg]

@@michaelsurabian7523 lol....sorry 😔😔

[@michaelsurabian7523]

suzie Q lol. It’s all good! Made me chuckle. 😉

I am a student and have a practice lab today. I’m gonna try incorporating this into my ending head rest. Thank you so much!!!

[@systematicbarometer4853]

Great technique, I’ve just started my first job after getting my license and have been searching for more shoulder techniques, thank you!

[@mstonireed0320]

I like this im going to try it out with my next appointments! Thank youuu 🤩

[@bebejoyvlog3310]

Hello I'm PILIPINO massage therapy..3 years thank you for sharing this vedio

[@jenniferm1271]

Love the beautiful style and techniques you use! Thanks for the videos!

[@singram]

I love this technique. And with the forearms close to the neck and head they can give subtle clues for the client to let go of their head, they know they forearms are their to "catch" them when they relax into the motions.

[@Michael-ib3bx]

Very nice technique thanks to you 😁🤓👍all my clients loves it

[@Zoydian]

I enjoy your video's very much! I watch them, not necessarily from a 'massage' perspective, but to relax by listening to your voice and seeing you perform the massaging. It works very soothing, like some kind of unintended ASMR, specially when I cannot sleep. Thanks a lot, and keep them coming!!

[@marianatera631]

This looks so relaxing & good! I had forgotten this move so thanks for the reminder!

[@MassageSloth]

Aw shucks, thanks Maria 😊

[@elsophie1907]

I find you an amazing massage therapist❣️thank you so much for your inspirational tools✋🏻🤚🏻

[@73mireya]

I like doing this at the end of my routine. Make my clients feel more relaxed and loose from the neck . Thanks for sharing! Great to see you back Ian!!

[@phoblyonna1]

i cannot wait to try this!

[@rahulkalra8989]

Looks super smooth! Thank you Ian🙏

[@genevievewalsh2007]

I tried this before I saw this video and I felt like I was possibly scrubbing on the head of the humerus uncomfortably :/ thank you for making these videos

[@patrickmontgomery6939]

love your videos, i would enjoy seeing the massage moves on some of are larger clients 👌🏾

[@rahulkalra8989]

I love this! Very comprehensive:)

[@viviancharvat6083]

Ian you have such wonderful "Gumby" fingers!❤ I will try to adapt this technique to my range-ability. I love all your videos- each and every one.

[@MassageSloth]

I always forget that it might be wise to do a demonstration where I don't bend my knuckles 75 degrees backwards 😅 Thanks for the kind words, Vivian!

[@MihaliWheeler]

love this technique :)

[@heatherscott1215]

Love this!!

[@douggreg9852]

Good move

[@masakh3757]

thank god your back😍 plz i have a question in this year i'm trying to learn how to do massage by your videos if there's any free websites could help me or anything else could you help me

[@bebejoyvlog3310]

Nice thank you so much....

[@SweartoSpivak]

Massage Sloth, what books do you recommend for leaning massage techniques for begginers and advanced??

[@christies4743]

Nice money maker move. I love all of your videos

[@christies4743]

I applied this at work today! Client melted and asked for another 5 min. Thank you Ian👍🏾

[@MassageSloth]

That's awesome! 🤗

[@SahabatHolistik]

Nice massage,

[@zomaarwat33]

I seem to miss some of your finger mobility. Are you very flexible in your hands?

[@stacigregson8877]

I'm a massage therapy student and I graduate hopefully in October. I have about 80 massages in (practice, not including in class trades). I'm finding that repetitive strokes in this position over the pectoralis major, around the deltoid, up the traps, and up the cervical spine is making my wrists super sore. I'm sure it's not proper body mechanics, can you give me some insight in this?

[@johnathanha9340]

I am qualified Chinese Medicine Practitioner in UK. I work in one of high street Chinese Medicine shop as acupuncture and tuina prectitioner. Can I apply the massage techniques learnt from your video???

[@chris5410]

I would check your local laws. I know in my region, you cannot practice massage whatsoever unless you are a licensed massage therapist or a reflexologist and specifically for the feet and leg. That’s it.

[@shivdas6039]

Awesome

[@stevehicks399]

I think the key is working nice and slow

[@nancyofallonvo]

Those distal phalanges though! Mine just to not do that Ian!

[@MassageSloth]

😅 I really need to make an update to this to discuss strategies for people who aren't made of rubber

[@observinthelaws]

This requires a lot of finger extension I believe. You have more finger extension than I have.

[@viktoriyakmassage]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏

[@kds5065]

Based on how you roll your sleeves, are you ex-military?

[@MassageSloth]

Nope, I learned that method from Tom Welling on Smallville. Man, that's a weird thing to just come out and admit.

[@ed8149]

Great video. Question how do I marry you

[@Jasmine-fu7qr]

Hi haha

[@mariamarquez1361]

mmmmm.....delicious
