I am having difficulty finding a reclining chair/couch that is designed for hypnotherapy use, as oppose to massage (of which there seems to be an abundance available)!  Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

Check EBAY first, they seem to have everything. If this doesn't work, put an ad in your local paper and maybe someone will have one. It's worth a shot, I'm sure buying one new would be expensive. Good luck!

I tried REIKI. I went from wanting small doses of morphine to not needing anything at all. There are no guarantees with anything and don't EVER give up your regular treatments, but I don't thnk REIKI will hurt and its worth a try. I have inflamatory osteo arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Wait...I never understood this concept.  I guess if I'm busy enough, I won't think about it.  Wait, I go to bed thinking about it and wake up thinking about it.  Is there a psychological difference between not having that and self....satisfaction during a month's time?  I doubt it.  Isn't getting it one of the best stress relievers?  Plus, if Posh wants some....is Becks going to deny her?  I WOULDN'T!!!!!

I am going to answer this as a professional, licensed massage therapist, in hopes that your question is about massage therapy. It should not be a problem for you at all if you are going to a professional, licensed massage therapist. We are use to all sorts of body types and we know how to adjust techniques, pressure, the amount of oil, etc. for each situation. In the event you have a therapist that is "pulling" the hair or whatever so that it is uncomfortable, tell them so they can make adjustments. That goes for anything else, too. If the room is too hot, cold, you hate the music or it's too loud, the pressure is too much, whatever. Just keep the communication line open with your therapist because we can't read your mind, and we can't feel what you are feeling! (Also, a good therapist will tell you this, too!). Now, go out and get a massage because it's one of the best things you can do for yourself!!!!!   ; )

There is "book study."  Depending on the program there is usually anatomy and physiology -- often including cadaver dissection (or at least observation and study of a real cadaver.) There is some study of pathology and disease -- especially musculoskeletal issues.  Then there is the study of different types and forms of massage -- and there are many!  Lots of practice of different techniques, plus some programs include electives for how to incorporate reflexology, aromatherapy, cranio-sacral, etc.

I am a massage therapist as are many of my friends.  I work in the spa setting and I have a friend who works in the chiropractic setting.  She rarely receives tips from her clients.  But really, tipping is a personal decision.  If you feel like he/she really did help you, and you can afford to tip them...it is always greatly appreciated.

Are you allowed to stretch where you sit.  There are exercises that can be done while sitting in a chair that help a lot.  When your neck starts to burn and your head starts to throb, can you stop a few seconds and put your chin to your chest and hold it and then move your head to your right shoulder and then to your left shoulder and then lift your hands towards the ceiling and just stretch?  This sometimes helps.  And then also stopping and just taking a few really deep breaths while looking off into the distance can help also.  I have an office job where I set at a desk in front of a computer all day long.  Fortunately, I can get up and walk around whenever I want.  But the company I work for stresses the stretching exercises.  You also need a really good chair . . . one that fits you and an articulating keyboard holder.  And make sure your computer screen is at eye level so you do not have to look up or down.  Most employers will modify your work station to accommodate you.  Good luck.

Scr** that, get some tiger balm or liniment. you can get it at the drug store. the red kind is the best but test it in light layers as it kinda goes strong. but it's gooood for leg pain. mine anyway.  Was yours Linimist?  My dad uses that. Also not so bad. There's lots. I'd not pay shipping and handling if you don't have to.  You can call any chiro or massage therapist in your town, they probably have a ton of recommendations and samples. If you want all natural, and your leg pain is partly circulation problems, Weleda has er, Verdena? gel that you put on and it's WONDERFUL. Felt like dancin'.  Believe it or not I'm a spring chicken still, just a lot of ...happens. It's sold at www.saffronrouge.com  they have a lot of good stuff. Their arnica oil is good as well.

I would take all my clothes off... Therapists totally professional and will not expose any area that is not being worked on. Just relax and enjoy. Massage is one of my favorite things in life. I was a bit shy the first massage I had, but if you really feel uncomfortable you can always just strip to your boxers.

I went to hypnosis August of last year and haven't smoked since.  I was really ready to quit and the hypnotist - a professional, not an entertainer - implanted the idea of anxiety any time I came into contact with the possibility of smoking.  I haven't smoked since.  Two of my workmates were also successful, but many have not been successful.  I think you must really, really want to quit.

Why dont you think about an online store to help you out. Ihave a great piece of software that will show you how to do this. You could courier the items to your customers and maybe sell bed space to other therapists to loosen your work load. I hope this helps you. Good luck

I am also a massage therapist.  i have found that if you get clients who keep fit then they prefer a deep tissue massage.  The hot stone massage does not seem popular where i am based.  I have a few clients that come for relaxation, but others that come for treatments for ailments.  My most popular treatments other that relaxation are deep tissue massage, crystal therapy massage, and refexology.

The chiropractic spinal adjustment is a vague entity. I have a chiropractic doctorate but I am abivalent about the value of this  profession. I find so many of my patients coming from other chiropractors with so many odd explanations for and violent methods of care, honestly I am often embarrased to be considered a chiropractor. Still, at it's heart chiropractic is the best model of healing I know of, and I am quite proud of what I do and the results I get. I've saved countless people from pain and spinal surgery, and helped others heal considerable 'incurable' issues. \n\nChiropractic is very unstandardized, so every chiropractor will offer something different. Basically most chiropractors over simplify their practices and model what they do as unblocking the nerves that come out of the spine. This is very rare that a nerve is so blocked or pinched that it is 'squeezed' coming out of the spine. What is really going on is that information the nervous system is picking up and relaying to the brain is getting 'jammed' and lost in the jumble of the body's functions and general stress levels. Most people have bones out of 'alignment' not by way of trauma (like car accidents), but by way of being overwelmed by metabolic stress (ex: too much sugar, not enough minerals, extreme mental stress) and the these 'misalignments' act as temporary 'fuse breakers'. The problem is that after these stresses reduce, the spinal 'fuse' stays switched off and the person maintains a physiology of high level stress no matter what goes on, how they eat, rest, etc.\n\nGood chiropractic spinal adjustments actually increase communication from the periphery into the brain so the brain can then create better signals through the outgoing nervous system. The chiropractors who can do this are like gold, because they not only activate very efficient healing states on a physical level - but they also allow sensations assiciated with food choices, emotional needs, mental ideas and repressed body/mind issues come to full consciousness. As it was explained to be Donald Epstein, in my opinion the greatest living chiropractor, chiropractic began as a 'consciousness delivery system' - not unlike Christian Science.\n\nDonald Epstein has developed 'Network Spinal Analysis' and the chiropractors who study this are the only chiropractors I welcome to adjust my spine.\n\nAnd a word for people who are encouraged to be manipulated or 'adjusted' two or three times a week in high volume models of practice - research suggests there is no value to this kind of over treatment. Network care though (which involves gentle touch at specific spinal points, not forcible cracking, manipulation or so called 'adjustment') delivered two or three times a week has blown the doors off researchers, and if your chiropractor wants to sell you a large multi-visit plan, ask him or her to either prove it's value or offer you Network care.\n\nIf you sufer from pain syndromes of the spine or need car accident rehabillitation, I do recommend you consider chiropractors who offer specialized care in these areas, as chiropractors who combine manipulation and physical therapy are often very effective for chronic pain and accident trauma.

God Bless Her. The idea is to do it in a way which will not hurt her in any way. If this were my problem this afternoon, as I sat down on the sofa, I would reach for a pillow which I would tuck partly under my tailfeathers and which would extend outwards to act as a "spacer" between myself and whomever chose to join me. I would explain, if she moves in regardless, that (you can actually use these same words) "Like Garfield, 'I need my space!'" You can be more determined if you like. You can grab two pillows and put the second one under your arm and elbow. Sooner or later, you will find your words to just ask her politely right out to please move a little further away from you because you need more space to breathe and be comfortable. If she does not understand you, well, you can't actually sit ON her, but that of course would give her an idea of how you feel, wouldn't it? Another answer? Bring that other chair into this room with you and then she can claim the whole sofa and you can chat with her from a distance of about fifteen to eighteen feet, from across the room. There are other answers. Keep reading!  Best to you from G. in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.
