#theracane

[naritaren]

I misjudged how much time it would take me to get to work today and got there an hour early. I was supposed to be there at 8:45 for my first day and got there at like 7:50. I also ended up being the only person to show up so I sat in a room alone on an ITV situation for boring ass training that I've done every single year for the last 14 years of my life. (maltreatment and 245d PBS) About 1pm I start to feel my neck get the burning nerve pain I get and realized that my good pain meds, muscle relaxers, pain cream, theracane, and heating pad were all in my office at home. I spent my lunch digging through my purse for a ball of some sort to try and work out the muscle spasms so I could survive. I then find out that the company SSO service was down so I couldn't get on the computer or get my email assigned to me. My new supervisor also handed me a 4 inch thick binder of information for the new job. Plus a laptop I can't access because I don't have an email lmao I'm bringing the pain cream and some gloves in my purse tomorrow, as well as the muscle relaxers, so that I can survive. Tempted to haul the theracane or heating pad as well, just to be safe. Bleh

i asked my moms for a theracane for xmas and when pressed for further gift ideas suggested some dvds but there appear to be some quite large boxes under the tree for me so what does tomorrow have in store well we'll see won't we!

The alcohol wipes that I need to use at least 4 times a day have over doubled in price since I ordered them last and I can add yet another health related item that Amazon will not let me purchase with my ~health reward vouchers~ a thing called a Theracane that my physical therapist recommended so I could continue physical therapy at home. So far Amazon has denied a blood pressure monitor which actually saved my fucking life(but I had to scrape all of my last nickels together to get it in January), a heavy resistance breathing tool to increase lung capacity and possibly lower blood pressure naturally.

What I have successfully used the vouchers for? Sneakers (which was admittedly helpful) BUTt

I think if I bought myself a theracane I'd be less tempted to twist my neck around until it makes trash compactor noises

Tension Tuesday- Scalenes and the trouble they cause So often, people complain about pain around the medial border of the shoulder blade. So often, it feels so good to get a deep elbow in there, or shove a ball or Theracane in the spot, but it doesn’t last. So often, it is the scalenes muscles who have found themselves short and tight pulling on the brachial plexus bundle. Looking here, you can see the dorsal scapula #nerve that runs down under the rhomboids right into that complaint spot. Treat the cause, not the symptom. #scalenes #scalenemuscles #referredpain #referralpain #triggerpointtherapy #triggerpointmassage #triggerpointrelease #triggerpoints #triggerpoint #treatthecausenotthesymptom #treatthecause #adaptablepolarity #backpain #shoulderbladepain https://www.instagram.com/p/Co78fDevI8J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is gonna sound like such an old person ask. But what's a thermacare and would it help with back/knee pain?

So a theracane is something new I've been using (like, two weeks maybe) but it's a cane with knobs on it and you use leverage and pressure points to work the muscles! I would talk to a doctor or PT person about using one. This was suggested by my doctor! This is the one I got!

Best $35 I have ever spent in my life. I have had this theracane for over 4 or 5 years now and I still use it on an almost daily basis. I’m disabled and this thing has helped me so so much. Sore, tight shoulders, headaches, hip and back pain. The theracane @theracaneco is the best message cane. #theracane #therapy #massages https://www.instagram.com/p/CM1vkGgp1sP/?igshid=28xe8jo20qcx

Is it normal, after working on a knotted muscle, for it to spasm for a while after? Or is that, like, a separate issue?

i have been away from home visiting my elder queer mentor, autumn, who has known me since i was a painfully shy 13-year-old that she took under her wing. she and my partner schemed together for months on how to coax me onto a trip out to her, especially as my mental health collapsed, and finally i went. autumn used her miles for my flights, so my tickets cost $11.

early last week, she swung the door of her red-roofed stucco house open and showed me to my room, saying, "and here is your grief sanctuary. your mourning retreat." and i said, "you can be blunt." and she said, "okay fine. your depresso den."

she said, "you never have to leave this room if you don't want to."

she made me stations. at the desk, she left a selection of books she thought i would like. a range of things from poetry to graphic novel to zine to memoir. laid out next to them were coloring books, markers, stickers, journals.

in the corner she left various physical therapy implements that she knows i use in my daily life at home. theracane and foam roller and yoga mat, etc.

the bed she piled high with blankets, including weighted and electric ones for maximum coze. on the bedside table, she left a mason jar of whiskey, a dish of chocolates, three tins of different edibles, melatonin, and a sachet of lavender.

"i'm serious," she said. "say the word and i will just leave food outside your door." and i hugged her for a long time.

but i have left the room. i've been compelled to. i wake up every day to the sun shining and think oh my god i can't waste this sunshine.

i've walked around alone, without music, just looking. here there are palm trees. here there are cacti and agave and rocks in front yards instead of grass. here people have window boxes of succulents instead of florals, and they grow to enormous sizes in the constant sun and dry heat. here the sky is so blue it almost hurts my eyes.

i walked to the main street and got coffee and argentinian pastries and sat in the sun and i read. we drove to the beach three days in a row and i ate strawberries and i read. i curled up on the couch with anita the cat, a part-maine coon, under a lamp at night and i read. i read more on this trip than i've read the entire rest of the year.

i walked through the shallow water at the shore until my toes went numb from the cold. i turned my face to the sky like a sunflower. i picked up seashells and put them back. i sniffed the herbaceous bladderpod bushes that dot the landscape. i wandered into bookstores and coffee shops alone. i met autumn's partners and metamours and was called autumn's nickname for me by everyone. i was given good food made lovingly and forbidden from doing chores. i woke up at odd hours at first and would color at the desk. and then i started to sleep through the night. i was left alone or given company as i needed it. nobody pressed. nobody pried.

and through it all, what i thought about the most was how much i want to do this for someone else someday. how i want to extend care and service to weary loved ones in a way that is different to having my care and service be expected and abused. i want to grow and be healthy and set boundaries so that i can also open my door and shelter someone and have it be an honor, have it fill my spirit.

everything she does teaches me. i got stoned and wrote to a friend: "maybe actually. maybe extending care and love is enough reason to be alive. yeah. that's why i wanna be alive. like i want to be there someday for someone who needs to be plied with whiskey and weed and chocolate you know. this is the mission. the mission is love." and was i very high? yes but also, it's not wrong. i feel uncovered and refocused in many ways. i am lit up by someone else's example--and so grateful for it. i feel like i found the version of myself that i had previously been shaping and which i had to leave behind for a decade's worth of survival mode. it's weird to reach in and wipe the dust off this version, but i'm glad to see it's still here.

i leave tomorrow afternoon and am currently plotting how to lasso the sun and take it with me.

anyway here's a pic of anita if you made it this far

I woke up with a stiff neck (more like ridiculously tight neck and shoulder tension...pls what and why) like two days ago and it still hasn’t gone away which sucks but the only thing keeping me afloat is the knowledge that Spencer Reid and his hands would 100% rub my shoulders and massage my neck 🥺😩

Literally in the least sexual way possible though

Like. Sir please do knead the knots out of whatever situation I have going on 😭😭😭 and he would just be so careful and keep asking if it’s hurting and if it feels any better😩 and oh would he be gentle but at the same time...mans can WORK THOSE HANDS. and he knows it !!! But he seriously doesn’t wanna make it hurt more so he would 100% say when he found another knot and is gonna work at it and like...he’ll say it’s gonna hurt and he’ll go at it but he’s still SO GENTLE

oh my god please send help i 😭

first of all i hope you’re okay now! i get that a lot, even just from sleeping on it weird. (stretching obvs helps but i bought a thing called a theracane a while back and it’s unbelievable, it’s super great at getting knots out yourself, and it’s like 30 bucks, would highly recommend)

second of all I agree. I think he’d be the type to learn the proper techniques and have a weird mastery of that sort of thing. so i think he’s probably good with his hands in every way it is possible to be 🙄

I had floor time and feel better for it. I also used the theracane and everything feels so loose and relaxed.

Нет ничего лучше отличного массажа. К сожалению, в наши дни может быть довольно сложно выйти из дома на профессиональный массаж. К счастью, есть несколько отличных недорогих инструментов, которые позволят вам самостоятельно выполнять массаж или так называемый миофасциальный релиз в д��машних условиях.

.

.

Массаж дает множество преимуществ, в том числе:

• Немедикаментозное лечение боли

• Снижает мышечную усталость и чувство стянутости

• Повышает качество вашей жизни

• Улучшает спортивные результаты

.

.

Вот несколько моих любимых инструментов для домашнего использования:

~Тера кейн - ручной массажер в форме крючка позволяет работать с болезненными мышечными узлами в таких зонах, как грудной отдел спины, лопатки, шея и плечи. Специальная форма позволяет сделать массаж в труднодосягаемых зонах.

~ Валик массажный - лучше всего подходит для разминки и разогрева мышц. Валик помогает расслабить глубокие ткани мышц и улучшают растяжку. Я катаю на нем ноги и вверх спины

~ Массажная палочка - очень простая и маленькая . Отлично подойдет для улучшения кровообращения ,расслабляет напряженные мышцы. Воздействует на активные точки и улучшает самочувствие

~ Мяч для лакросса или теннисный мяч - поможет избавится от узлов и стеснения в области бедер и ягодиц. Особенно полезно для тех у кого боль в ягодичном или седалищном нерве. Также очень полезен при болях в лопатке, напряжении шеи и ногах.

Рекомендую попробовать один из них. Ваши мышцы, спина будут вам благодарны!
