Music and massage therapy AMA

[flamingsword]

I am pleased to direct your attention toward sabotabby's 2018 music recs. They are amazing. Yes, all of them.

In other news, a friend of a friend is having hip and sciatic pain, and it occurs to me that lots of yall may not know that I am an actual facts massage therapist who can help out with this stuff. Tell me about your pain, and I can generally narrow down where it is coming from to a few likely culprits and then help you workshop an answer that will fit your life and ability. If you want to PM me with stuff now or in the future for privacy reasons, that is totally kosher.

I'm a massage therapist; ask me anything.

Okay, so some questions to ask yourself, here, are: how much pain is doing a few specific exercises a couple times a week going to save you between now and when you are sixty? And: if you try to start doing the exercises when you are 60, how much more is it going to suck if the stiffened connective tissue in your back and hips has decided to calcify? Because sometimes it does do that.

Our bodies are not made for sitting. We are not adapted to it like we are to walking and squatting and climbing. Ooh! Do you live anyplace that has climbing gyms? Because indulging your inner monkey is also great core work, plus amazing fun, and you can start on the baby slopes until your strength catches up.

I'm sure there are, but I also have the issue that if I am not good at something right away, or it's not convenient (none are in walking distance), I am not excited to do it.

On the plus side, I hardly ever sit.
