The other day at the high end Spa I work as LMT, I had a unique experience that truly highlighted the importance of my work as a licensed massage therapist. A personal trainer came into my treatment room with one of her clients, explaining that he was struggling with rotator cuff tendonitis. They only had about 15 minutes, but I wanted to make the most of that time to help address his pain, improve his range of motion, and support his recovery journey.

I focused on targeted techniques for the rotator cuff area, aiming to reduce his discomfort, enhance flexibility, and potentially even lessen inflammation. The treatment made a positive impact in just a short amount of time, and to my surprise and delight, he booked a full massage with me the very next day. Working with him over a longer session was an incredible experience—it felt fulfilling to use my degree, license, and hands-on skills to support his self-care journey.

Being able to contribute to my client’s wellness and help them regain their quality of movement is what I love most about this work. It’s moments like these that remind me of the deep connection between therapeutic massage and overall health.
