Hello again.
Recently I started work with a footy club. It’s a local club with seniors, seconds and under18s. Not a bad bunch. I’ve been signed up as a sports trainer and mostly been using my massage skills to assist warm up.
I’ve been going for two weeks of training plus a practise match so far and the boys have figured out I’m a massage therapist. I now have a list of players wanting massages pre-training/game. Ain’t it great to be appreciated.
Now before you ask what’s this to do with pregnancy, it has very little to do with it. Some of the players have kids and some are expecting them. The reason I’ve taken this role is to do with skills. I use some of the same techniques with both my client types but for sports people there are a few different ones, like ice massage.
So look out for me in the Essendon district league in the white pants (ick) sitting on the boundary or in the change rooms.
I’ve also had some really great pregnant clients and used the support system again. Some of the mums found they preferred the side lying position and others were just relieved to be able to lay on their stomachs for a little while.
At the moment Little Miss is playing with my Russian nesting dolls. My mum gave them to me for my birthday a couple of years ago. I had always found them fascinating and wanting a set. My set usually sits on my desk. Little Miss likes to look for the baby one giving it cuddles.
Hope everyone is well and I’ll write again soon.
Em.
