This opened my eyes to a contributing cause of a glute overuse injury I developed as the room I've been offering many sessions in is indeed tiny. I wondered why I completed my day feeling so exhausted when I would help out at other spas with rooms 50% larger, I would not feel as exhausted. I know the size limits my stroke/modality options (passive stretches have me banging up against the way) and it requires more of my energy to work within the room's physical boundaries but I did not seriously consider its contrbution to injury. Ugh! Thank you so much for this!

Thanks! And sorry that you, like many in the industry, are having to work in a room that is too small :/ I'm 6'1" so I made sure that all the rooms in both our studios are big enough to have plenty of room for me to stretch out in. Our smallest room is 8.5 x 14 ft but that's huge compared to many spas. Most of our rooms are 9 x 18. Not something easy to fix when you work for someone else unfortunately but if any of you go into your own private practice it's absolutely work spending the extra $ on a larger room. Your clients will also be impressed too :)

@@bodyworksdwnyc Thank you! I've cut back on clients at this location, doing PT, RICE, getting bodywork and self massage. Slowly healing.

Such helpful tips for bodyworkers! Our nature is to be caregivers, which means too often we get so caught up in helping our clients that we forget to look after ourselves. Unfortunately, this causes all kinds and overuse injuries for us, which is one of the reasons too many of us can only stay in this profession for a few years:/ Looking forward to this workshop so I can better look after my body mechanics!:)

[@bodyworksdwnyc]

Thanks so much Yvonne! The live workshop is going to be ace :)
