Favorite Dumbledore quote: “Of course it is happening inside your head Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?”

I’m fascinated by pain science and how stories can heal (shout-out to @NarrativeMed!) and I’m totally stoked to be part of the #painrevolution

@heymrsbond @LAMBRADLEY @edutinker I'm currently an employee in Vancouver, WA, but working on starting my own practice so I can have more control over covid precautions! Right now I require masks for all clients and air out the room between every session. CO2 levels peak at 1200 ppm, air filter runs constantly

This group has been such a comforting space throughout the pandemic, everyone values accuracy and safety above all else, and the posts are beyond informative, so well researched and explained. And not just massage therapists, a variety of healthcare professionals have joined

[Massage and Covid @MassageAndCovid]

Our love note to the group, Happy Valentine's Day to all our members!

Roses are (sometimes but not always) red,
Violets are (really more purple than) blue,
Evidence-based practice is sexy,
And leading with ethics is, too!

If you’re in New Zealand, you get a pass on the staying home part, but I’ve got my eye on all you Americans

[Massage and Covid @MassageAndCovid]

Love is...
-creating a space for evidence-based practitioners to support each other throughout the pandemic
-researching and sharing accurate information in pursuit of informed, safe decisions
-staying the fuck home during a pandemic

@jasonsilvernail I’m an unemployed MT who is currently too sad for any kind of learning 😔

[Chloe 🌱 Bradley @cbradleyMT]

Hygiene in general has been pretty lax at most of the spas I’ve worked at, and it’s disappointing at best, deadly at worst. We need to do better.

[Aaron Ansuini 🍋🪴🌱 @AaronLinguini]

At the very least, please wear a breathing mask, wash your hands regularly, and literally do not touch us or our things or shared surfaces unless absolutely necessary (which is hard when, again, your job involves helping someone who is immunocompromised!)

[Chloe 🌱 Bradley @cbradleyMT]

This is SUCH huge problem in the spa world. Bosses intimidate and bully employees into coming to work even when we’re sick, and it’s literally our JOB to TOUCH PEOPLE. Be better, spa owners.

[Aaron Ansuini 🍋🪴🌱 @AaronLinguini]

Hello

When your job involves working with a disabled person who is immunocompromised, that means DONT COME IN IF YOU HAVE A FLU.

I only found out at the end of the day that my attendant had the flu going around their house, and I’ve woken up with a fever today.

[Chloe 🌱 Bradley @cbradleyMT]

@sarah_wigington I found this light for you, I hope you can hold on to it even when you are tired. It’s for you to take from the internet, off of whatever screen you’re viewing it on; you take it, and I hope it keeps you company throughout your day and night.

[Chloe 🌱 Bradley @cbradleyMT]

If a client is coming to you for a massage, and you try to “educate” them about their weight, you are negatively impacting their health. If you preach weight loss, you’re alienating a demographic that could benefit so much from massage

[Chloe 🌱 Bradley @cbradleyMT]

@neuronmn Idk you look pretty bikini ready to me!

[Chloe 🌱 Bradley @cbradleyMT]

A fantastic resource, thanks @LAMBRADLEY for sending it my way!

I’m a patron of Dani because her work has made me a better #massagetherapist. Following her has transformed my understanding of health and weight.

[Dani Adriana @iamdaniadriana]

If U R a thin professional who uses bopo as a tool 4 UR clients in nutrition, exercise, mental health or any capacity in which UR clients experience UR service differently bcoz of info fat activists online create that helps u understand/better UR service. PAY DEM WITH UR MONIES.

I took a class with @NeilOConnell last year at @SanDiegoSummit and it was so good. I wish I could hop over to Chicago to take it again!

“This simply can’t be rushed” <— a thing I need to remember, cuz my enthusiasm often runneth over

[Chloe 🌱 Bradley @cbradleyMT]

@SandyHiltonPT I didn’t take notes and now I don’t remember so I guess I have to listen AGAIN and be challenged AGAIN *grump grump grump*

I’ve been seriously neglecting my nerd journal and it’s showing

[Chloe 🌱 Bradley @cbradleyMT]

Listened to this while drinking my morning tea! ☕️ it did not confirm my bias which is annoying 😒 forever being challenged to re-examine what I believe is true, forever trying to get comfortable with not knowing all the answers. 📚🤷🏻‍♀️

“We built a world for convenience, not community.” 😭 this thread has so much heart I’m crying 😭

[Erynn Brook @ErynnBrook]

I’m waiting on kitty ultrasound results and trying to distract myself a little bit so I’d like to tell you a story about something that happened last night, in the hopes that I can process my feelings around it.

I met a girl on the train last night.

[Chloe 🌱 Bradley @cbradleyMT]

@Bandit70733210 @TanteWillemijn @iamdaniadriana Dude you are so wrong it’s not even funny...there are plenty of seniors who are also fat. Just because you don’t notice them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

[Chloe 🌱 Bradley @cbradleyMT]

@Bandit70733210 @TanteWillemijn @iamdaniadriana Yo, my dude, do you have any idea how many skinny people chow down on twinkies and slurpies all day? And how many fat people eat balanced meals and exercise regularly? Your opinion is ill-informed, unwanted, and also wrong.
