Bird ladies (and sometimes men)
Disclaimer: I LOVE my career. 15 years in, I feel stronger and more invested than ever and I’ve been with the same doctors practice for 11 years. I love my clients and the family I work with.
With that said, the sudden uptick in bird ladies/ men (people who are shorter than 5’5 and made of air and bones) requesting 90 minute deep tissue sports is mentally draining. I want to put both my hands on their shoulders and gently say that everything they want can be accomplished in 60 minutes.
Is this selfish? Absolutely, this is about my boredom as I zone out massaging tarsals because I can’t camp out on normal large muscle structures because they’re the size of a toddlers.
I’ll get over myself, it’s just lately the onslaught has been intense. I swear it’s like they went to the tennis courts of the country club and convinced every Marlboro wielding sun baked tennis lady to get a deep tissue sports for an ungodly amount of time.
