Massage therapist self-care: Thumb pain
My new book is out! It's called Massage Is Weird: https://massagesloth.com/book/
Are you a massage therapist with thumb pain? That's not too unusual. We tend to find many creative ways to injure our thumbs, often repeatedly over the course of our careers. When you get thumb pain, don't just accept it. It's an injury, so treat it that way!
When I injure myself (thumb-related or not), there are three phases:
0:00 Introduction
2:29 Phase 1: Rest
6:47 Phase 2: Self-massage and Stretching
9:26 Phase 3: Strengthening and Reintroduction
Take this slowly, be gentle with your rehabilitation, and make sure to consult a doctor if you have any pain that's sudden, unusual, or that doesn't get better with rest. Let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, or tips of your own!
