FAQ: Often, people ask me, "How did you decide to become a massage therapist?" Part of the story is that I was in a car accident and got rear-ended pretty hard (Previous post: It all started when I made the traffic report).
But here is the other part of the story.
In a previous life, I was a graphic artist, wedged for hours & hours in many small office cubicles. Between the '80s and the '90s, the tools of my trade transitioned from drawing boards and T-squares, crammed into the corner of a dark office next to a water cooler, to glowing computer monitors and non-ergonomic keyboards. . . crammed into the corner of a dark office next to a vending machine. CubicleLand. DilbertDom.
After 12 years of spending hours & hours in front of a non-ergonomic Macintosh workstation, I had chronic neck pain and occasional wrist soreness!
One of the most frequent complaints that I hear from a new client, is neck & shoulder tension. So, given my history of sitting at a computer all day long, I can relate to your pain, and I can see different ways that I can help you.
Although no two bodies are exactly alike, and no two massages will be alike :) there are some typical patterns for pain & tension, among people who work with a computer all day long. Tell me where the majority of your stress lies, and we will spend some focused effort there. Massage is the best relief for cubicle-dwellers!
