Massage Therapy Journal Spring 2025

Spring 2025 • 15

T he holidays were only a couple of weeks away and they were one of the few motivators left for me after working a solid month of seven-day work weeks. Despite it being a festive and fruitful time, I didn’t feel that way. My wife and I argued one day when I came home in the evening and plopped on the couch. My knees ached, still recovering from a torn meniscus, and my spine fell back into its preferred twist. My hands hurt any time I tried to grab anything.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” —RUMI
