Stairs

I realize that it is time for an update on the business. The client list is growing. That has helped me increase from an average of one to two clients per week to an average of three to four clients per week. I have also had several clients increase their time from an hour to ninety minutes.  Things are progressing in the right direction.

I am do to renew my insurance at the end of next month.  Being a member of abmp is a great benefit. The monthly magazine helps keep me current in the massage industry. I can get discounts on products and services. They offer continuing education and marketing information. It is a good source for any questions I may have.

There are a lot more stair steps from the sidewalk to my massage room than I had realized. I traverse them daily and barely notice it. For someone who may be injured or who has arthritis the steps may cause a great difficulty getting to and from the treatment room. The step from the walkway to the porch does not have a handrail either. This may be our first project this coming Spring. Does anyone else have issues with where you get your massage?

Speaking of the stairs...I have always wanted to live in a home on one level. More and more I am given reasons to continue this desire. Recently my husband slipped on our stairs and bruised his Talus (heal). He required crutches or a cane for a week, because he was unable to bear weight on his heal without severe pain. He is doing much better now. Not to be outdone; I missed the last step as I was bringing the laundry downstairs a few days ago. I landed on my knee rather than my foot, bending all of my toes back in the process. I spent the day with an ice pack on my elevated knee and foot. The following day it was sore, but I had no trouble bearing weight. The proper treatment can prevent lasting discomfort. We have no intention of ever moving, but I still have the dream of living without stairs.
