💙 Business Update: Surgery Scheduled for November 11th 💙

I wanted to give everyone an update on what’s been going on with my shoulder and where things stand with returning to massage.

After months of working through the pain and trying to manage my shoulder injuries, things unfortunately continued to get worse. Following my MRI and orthopedic appointments, surgery has officially been scheduled for November 11th.

As far as recovery goes, I’m looking at a minimum of 4–6 weeks for the initial healing process, with the possibility of several months before I’m able to safely return to performing massage therapy.

Because massage is such a physically demanding profession, returning to work isn’t just about feeling better. I need to make sure my shoulder has healed properly and that I can safely provide treatments without risking further injury or compromising the quality of care my clients deserve.

Unfortunately, I will remain out of work and will not be accepting new massage appointments until I have been medically cleared to return.

I know this has been frustrating for those who have had appointments canceled or rescheduled, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Believe me, being unable to do the work I love has been incredibly difficult.

I’ve spent the last six years building relationships with my clients and helping people manage their pain, stress, and mobility concerns. Having to step away from that, even temporarily, has not been easy.

But I also know that pushing through these injuries for months is part of what brought me to this point, and I don’t want to risk undoing the surgery by returning before my body is ready.

I’ll continue providing updates as I move through surgery and recovery, especially once I have a better idea of when I can safely begin scheduling appointments again.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out, checked on me, and shown patience and understanding throughout all of this. Your support truly means more than you know. 💙

I’m looking forward to healing and eventually getting back to doing what I love most — helping my clients feel better.

❤️ A Difficult Update & Temporary Closure Announcement ❤️

Well, this certainly isn’t the update I was hoping to make, but unfortunately, my shoulder has officially decided it no longer wants to cooperate.

After months of working through increasing pain and limited mobility, an MRI revealed several areas of concern with my shoulder. What started as something I thought I could manage has progressively gotten worse, and after meeting with my orthopedic doctor today, we’ve determined that surgery is necessary.

We’re hoping to get surgery done next Tuesday, November 3rd. The initial recovery estimate is 4–6 weeks at minimum, but that will depend on how surgery goes, how I heal, and when I’m medically cleared to return to physically demanding work.

Because of this, Heather Muise LMT will be temporarily closed for the next few months. I will not be accepting any new massage appointments during this time.

I want to sincerely apologize to all of my clients who have had appointments canceled or rescheduled throughout this process. I know how frustrating it can be, especially for those of you who rely on regular massage therapy for pain management and relief.

For months, I’ve tried to continue doing what I love while dealing with these injuries, but unfortunately, I’ve reached the point where pushing through is no longer an option. As much as I love helping others feel better, I have to take the time to get myself better first.

This is incredibly difficult for me. I’ve spent years building relationships with my clients and growing this business, and being forced to step away, even temporarily, is not something I take lightly.

I fully intend to return to massage therapy once I’m healed and medically cleared to do so. I just can’t give a definite return date right now.

I’ll continue to share updates as I navigate surgery and recovery.

To everyone who has reached out, checked on me, been patient with cancellations, or offered words of encouragement, thank you. It truly means more than you know. ❤️

Hopefully, this is just a temporary detour, and I’ll be back to helping everyone feel better before too long.

Thank you all for your continued support and understanding.

💙 A Little Business Update! 💙

Today is finally my orthopedic appointment for this lovely shoulder injury that has decided to put me out of commission. 🙃

My MRI came back showing quite a few things going on, including:

🩻 A Hill-Sachs lesion (damage to the bone in my shoulder)

🩻 A suspected Bankart lesion (possible tearing of the cartilage that helps stabilize the shoulder)

🩻 Supraspinatus tendinopathy (damage or irritation involving one of my rotator cuff tendons)

🩻 Shoulder impingement

🩻 Mild bursitis and arthritis

Thankfully, there was no full-thickness rotator cuff tear reported, so I’ll take that little bit of good news! 😂

I’m hoping today’s appointment will give me a better understanding of what all of this means, what treatment will look like, and most importantly, when I can safely return to work.

Hopefully by tomorrow I’ll have some answers and a better idea of an ETA for getting back to doing what I love — helping people feel better!

Being sidelined has been incredibly frustrating. I miss my clients, I miss my work, and I’m definitely ready for my shoulder to stop acting like it has a personal vendetta against me. 🙃

For now, I’m still not accepting appointments until I’m medically cleared. I’ll continue keeping everyone updated as I learn more.

Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and support through this. I truly appreciate every single one of you! 💙

💆‍♀️ Let’s talk about the physical side of massage therapy for a minute.

I came across a study published earlier this month about muscle fatigue and the physical demands of being a massage therapist.

And considering my shoulder has apparently decided to go on a vacation with no ETA of coming back, the timing couldn’t be more appropriate. 😂🙃

One thing I found interesting was that therapists didn’t necessarily report significant fatigue during their sessions. But that doesn’t automatically mean our bodies aren’t experiencing physical stress.

I think people sometimes forget just how physically demanding this profession really is.

Especially being a mobile therapist! I’m not just massaging clients. I’m hauling my table, loading and unloading equipment, setting everything up, breaking it all down, and repeating the process at the next appointment.

And sometimes we don’t realize just how much we’re putting our bodies through until something decides it’s officially done cooperating. 🙃

The research is still preliminary, but I’m glad to see more attention being given to the physical demands of our profession.

We spend so much time taking care of everyone else’s bodies that sometimes we forget our own need care, too.

With National Massage Therapy Awareness Week starting tomorrow, I think this is a pretty fitting reminder that there’s a whole lot more to massage therapy than people realize. 💙

📖 For my fellow massage therapists, here’s the study if you’d like to read it:

This exploratory study examined the relationship between the massage modalities used, the length of the massage treatment, and the areas of the body massaged on the perceived self-reported effort level and muscular fatigue as well as the ergonomic sensor data for average composite risk score and ave...

❤️ A Little Update Regarding Massage Appointments

I wanted to give everyone a quick update on my current situation.

Unfortunately, I’m still out of work due to my shoulder injury. I’ve received my MRI results, and there are some issues that need further evaluation before I can safely return to massage therapy.

I have an appointment with an orthopedic specialist on Monday, and I’m hoping to get some answers and a better understanding of what recovery will look like.

For now, I am not accepting any new massage appointments, and I don’t have an estimated return date. Any clients with upcoming appointments will be contacted directly.

Being unable to do what I love, especially as a self-employed massage therapist, has been incredibly difficult. But my health has to come first so I can eventually return and provide the quality of care my clients deserve.

I genuinely appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding, and kind messages during this time. ❤️

I’ll share another update once I have more information from the specialist.

Thank you for continuing to support my small business. It truly means more than you know. ❤️

💙 Important Business Update 💙

Unfortunately, due to a shoulder injury, I am currently unable to perform massage therapy services and will be taking some time away from work to focus on healing and recovery.

Effective immediately, I will not be accepting any new appointments until further notice.

For those who already have appointments scheduled, I will be reaching out to you individually to discuss rescheduling.

This is definitely not how I planned on things going, and stepping away from something I genuinely love doing is incredibly frustrating. However, I know that taking the time to properly heal is necessary so I can return to providing the quality of care my clients deserve.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience, kindness, and understanding during this time.

I will continue to provide updates as I learn more about my recovery and when I can safely return to work.

Thank you all for your continued support. It truly means more than you know. 💙

☀️ Good morning, beautiful people! 💙

Happy Wednesday! We’re officially halfway through the week, and I have a little reminder for you this morning.

You cannot pour from an empty cup. And no, surviving on caffeine, stress, and sheer stubbornness doesn’t count as self-care. 😂☕ Between work, family, responsibilities, and the million other things life throws at us, it’s easy to put ourselves at the very bottom of the priority list.

But here’s the thing… your body keeps score.

That tension in your shoulders? The headaches? The feeling like you haven’t truly relaxed in weeks? Sometimes your body is practically waving a giant red flag while you’re over here saying, “I’m fine.” 🚩😂

Massage therapy isn’t just about treating yourself to something nice. It’s about giving your body the attention and care it deserves. So here’s your Wednesday reminder: Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s necessary. 💙

Now tell me, what’s ONE thing you’re doing for yourself this week? Even if it’s just drinking your coffee while it’s still hot. ☕🤣

💆‍♀️ Let’s talk about pain for a minute, because not everyone experiences it the same way!

Something I found interesting recently was a large study looking at pain patterns in millions of people around the world. One of the findings? Women reported higher rates of pain than men across all 11 areas of the body studied.

And it brings up something I’ve talked about with clients for years. Pain is NOT one-size-fits-all.

Two people can have discomfort in the exact same area and experience it completely differently. What feels like mild tension to one person might be downright miserable for someone else.

And here’s something else I wish more people understood…

A deeper massage doesn’t automatically mean a better massage! 👏

As a massage therapist, my job isn’t to see how much pressure you can tolerate. It’s to listen, assess your needs, and adjust your session accordingly.

Some clients benefit from firmer pressure. Others respond better to lighter, more targeted work. And sometimes what your body needs today is completely different from what it needed last month.

That’s why communication during your session is SO important!

You don’t get bonus points for suffering through a massage. 😂

Therapeutic massage should be about working WITH your body, not fighting against it.

💙 Your pain is personal. Your massage should be too.

☕️💆‍♀️ I’m not saying you should give up your Starbucks addiction… but hear me out. 😂

That $6 coffee every morning adds up to about $180 a month.

Meanwhile, a 60-minute massage with me is only $100. 👀

So technically, you could get a monthly massage AND still have $80 left for coffee.

Less stress, fewer knots, and you can still be caffeinated enough to tolerate people. Sounds like a win to me. 🤣

Your coffee gets you through the morning. A massage might help you feel better for a whole lot longer. 💙

😂🐾 When the massage hits so good, you forget how to function afterward!

You know it was a good massage when you need a few minutes to remember what planet you’re on before getting off the table. 🤣💆‍♀️

Don’t worry, I fully support taking a minute to return to reality. That’s how I know I’ve done my job! 💙
