Today, I am grateful to Thomas Edison for discovering electricity, and more specifically modern electricity.
I came to work today and much of Grandview, including my office building had no power. I set it up yesterday for a client so she didn't have to jump onto the table. Our table is electric, something I remembered only after I tried pushing the button. The top of the table is set to my knees.
I have five clients today.
I am also grateful for rolling stools, body mechanics, and perfect timing.
I used the stools to work on this client's head, arms, and legs, thankfully we have two. This allowed me to work at the table level without hurting my body.
When I began working on her back it was a quick reminder of why body mechanics as a massage therapist are vastly important. If I didn't have the proper body mechanics while I work, I would have, again faced a painful situation. I knew it was going to be a long day working like this.
As I moved to the other side of the table, the electricity came back on and the first thing I did was raise it up to the proper level. We cheered as everyrhing beeped in unison!
Long day crisis averted, and I am grateful again for electricty!
