For massage therapists, having a versatile toolkit isn't just about offering more services. Sometimes, it can help you keep working when your own body needs a little extra care.

In her latest blog for 𝗔𝗽𝗲𝘅 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘀, Susan Good, LMBT, shares her personal journey from loving the movement and physicality of Thai massage to discovering the value of 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀 during pregnancy.

Thai foot massage, facial Bo Jin, facial cupping, herbal poultice treatments, and seated neck work became valuable tools that allowed her to continue caring for clients while taking some of the physical demand off her own body.

Whether you're pregnant, recovering from an injury, feeling physically drained, or simply looking for ways to create more longevity in your massage career, learning seated techniques can give you more options when you need them most.
