This website is an example of the kinds of things that are parts of bodywork. Watch the video in the top left corner. She mentions the relaxing aroma of yak butter lamps. Come on.

Some of you may know that I’m a massage therapist. I no longer practice. I’m not licensed to do massage here in the UK, and I don’t feel like going back to massage school to get re-licensed. So I’ve been doing some writing. I’m also working on a website about massage. For it I write descriptions of different types of massage therapy and bodywork. My goal is to have to most comprehensive site on the web about massage.

Anyway, every time I read about a different type of massage I think, That’s fascinating. Maybe I should learn to do that. Last week I was going to learn polarity therapy, and the week before that shiatsu.

Today I wrote an article about Alexander technique–that isn’t really a form of massage, but it does fall under bodywork. It’s a method of correcting your posture. So the whole time I’m writing about it, I’m trying to sit up as straight as possible and thinking, Maybe I should learn how to teach Alexander technique. Meanwhile, my back is aching from my rigid posture, but I soldiered through until I was done writing the page.

Now that I’ve resumed my normal slouchy blogging posture, my back is killing me and my future as an Alexander technique teacher is over. I need a massage.
