This morning I (finally) did the hands-on final for the Advanced massage class from last fall. I know, I know, but the class ended in mid-December, and the holidays, and then I was quitting work, and… but yeah, I should have scheduled it sooner than I did.
Anyway, my hands-on final was this morning, and it went swimmingly. The instructor was very complimentary about how attentive I was, my choreography and transitions, the length of the strokes and how I extended all the way to the attachments. She really dug it, and seemed to feel much looser, and even taller after the massage. The only minor criticism I got was a reminder to work on my body mechanics and really drive the stokes with my lower body. We talked about how that’s an on-going challenge for me, with my big chest and shoulders, especially when working on a smaller client, like she is.
She had a major knot in her shoulder, and a chiro appointment scheduled for right after the massage, so I was really happy to be able to make some headway there and get things loosened up so the chiro would be able to make adjustments.
Yay! Good massage, and I’ve finally wrapped up that class!
Oh yeah, and tonight I get to do the “Deep 2” class for my Fundamentals students. I love it when the instructor lets me run a class!
