    You couldn't pay me enough money to let an osteopath near my spine! *rocks back and forth*

    I <3 my osteopath. He is awesome. One session twice a year keeps me right and he's only €30 per session:)
    I've no faith in chiropractors. In my experience, they're all about the money

    Does anyone know would it take long to do a basic massage course? Bf would love it and it would be something for me to do.. :o

    ITEC and FETAC do lots :) Just google for your area. But, as Krudler said, it's hard work and it's usually coupled with a diploma in anatomy and physiology...I don't think you can practice without it. And, you're talking 10 case studies for FETAC and 40 for ITEC.

    My sister did some of reiki thing. I don't know much about it and I'm not on great terms with my sister to ask but from what I've read online it's a pretty popular form of massage and I'm almost sure she did it at night. You could look into that too.

    Even hands on reiki doesn't involve any manipulation of muscle. Reiki isn't the easiest think to learn either, reiki 1 is fine but as you go up to 2 and mastership there's a lot to take in.

    even basic massage courses take 9-10 months to do, and there's a LOT of study involved, you basically have to learn every muscle, bone and system in the body, how it all works together, the endocrine system, reproductive organs, joints, how massage affects the body holistically, diseases and the effects on the body etc etc. I did a course in it and thought it'd be handy, its a cool skill to have but its something you need to put a lot of effort in with. dont expect to do one class a week and know how to do it after a month. you're basically learning the human body inside out. 206 bones, their functions, how they're connected, about 600 muscles, the various tissue they're made of, how they all work, what arteries and veins connect them, and it goes on..thats just holistic massage, then you have sports therapy which is a few years of work and a full blown college course. I've forgotten tons of stuff I had to learn for my course. Then theres the actual tecnhniques, how you work them all together, what kind of massage it is, what oils to use blahdeblahdeblah..

    so in short. voucher :pac:


    I'm going on to do sports in Sept and I are ascared of the work load:pac:

    Is it just me or is this weather having an effect on people's moods? I just feel so lethargic and 'down' lately, could the weather be part of the reason?

    Yep, I feel like crap the last few days because I have headaches the whole time from the heat. I nearly fainted twice last week and was a tired grouch for ages because it was 25 degrees, humid and yokky!

    Congrats rebel girl!

    Work was idiot central again today. There's clearly nothing else for it, I'm going to have to dump my boyfriend and find me a millionaire. Shame, I quite like him. :)

    I love the rain! Get to sit inside guilt free! But my fave weather is a nice bright day with the sun shining but still a good cool breeze, so I can go for a walk without roasting and dying and listen to the leaves rustling :)

    @Lucyfur, thanks for the info. I wasn't really looking to practice tbh, was just looking for something I could do for my bf, he likes having his head/shoulders rubbed so thought it might be nice.

    @rebel girl - congrats!!

    LOL. Don't be sad when I am, ya eejit.

    Nawwww! That's ridiculously cute :)


    Also, I'm sorry if I contributed to the bad mood with my anti-osteopathness. I know it's not the place for it.

    Not at all. Work stuff mainly.

    You could have a look for Indian head massage? It's done on back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face. It's really really lovely to give and receive. It'd be a hella lot cheaper and easier to learn:D

    My little dog keeps trying to stick it in the big dogs neck. I'm not sure if he's just inexperienced or too small to reach the big dogs mouth. I need a water gun.

    Or a life. A life would do.

    A flute, you can blow. A ukulele, you can strum. But I agree that there's nothing like a good hard pounding on a piano.
