How about this then

Gosh what a genius idea - I suppose if you just find the spot with your real thumb, then you could go in with the fake one!
Thanks Jo.
Hi Delighted,
Considering the amount of stress and tension you have been under recently (mentioned in one of your other posts) it sounds to me like you need to see a Remedial massage therapist to clear out the tension which is being held in your body.;)
Have you thought about seeing if any local Remedial massage therapists might be interested in doing an exchange? This would have the advantage of giving you time to relax and release physical tension and also an opportunity to network with other therapists.
Remember that it is important to look after yourself too, so that you can function effectively in your chosen roles. 🙂

Hi Gaiaholistix
Oh indeed I have thought about it :D.. I may well see if one such person would be interested. I have a feeling though she already has a therapist she sees regularly and so may not wish to but I won't know til I try..
Hi D
There many good points been made, so don't despair. Get sorted out by a good bodyworker first - whatever method you decide to use.
Eventhough I use my hands, forearms, elbows, knees, and feet, and make sure I apply proper bio-mechanics (easier said than done), I do my thumbs and palms a lot and have typical ectomorph wrists, so get strain at times. What I do now is regularly self-massage my forearms, wrist and hands, and exercise the hands, arms and upper body using a combo of Qigong & Yoga. It makes a big difference and I would recommend developing a self-maintenance programme for yourself. As therapists we need to consider our long-term health and practice.
Best wishes

Hi Derek and Reiki Pixie
I haven't used feet in my massages over here but when I trained in Thai massage in Thailand, we were taught to use them.
I know a masseuse who used to have her own clinic in Manhatten and she used to regularly walk up and down people - however she wasn't in excess of 11 stone which I currently am :eek:!
It was misread!! It was misread!!
Ah, that explains it then. My apologies if anything I said sounded cheeky. 😮
I hope you manage to find a solution to your problem. 🙂
