Today was one of those days that reminds me why I do what I do. I received a phone call yesterday from Frank...he is a local mail carrier who has been feeling overworked and stressed. He was in so much pain and just needed some relief.
We made him an appt or this morning, and when he arrived he expressed again that he had so much pain in his shoulders, arms, and lower back from his job, and he just needed some relief.
Frank does not get regular massage or chiropractic, he reached out because he was desperate for relief...and thankfully, we were able to do some work for him that gave him the relief he was looking for. He was so thankful, and not just a little surprised, that his last ditch effort had actually paid off!
Frank is the reason I spent a year in massage school, countless hours learning different techniques and stretches, listening to and learning from other massage therapists, videos, classes, etc. He realized today that maybe the time to call for a massage is not when everything is falling apart, but to keep everything together. Before he left, he booked another appointment for himself, and one for his wife!
I am so thankful for this gift, and for every reminder that my “job” is making people feel better. Whether they’re looking for relief from pain and stress, relaxation, or advice on living a healthier lifestyle...this Is not just about massage. It’s about improving people’s lives, one session at a time.
