It's the end of the year and I was curious - is there any gadget/product/technique that revolutionized your practice or made your life so much eaiser that you look back and say "wow, how did I live without it before"?
In my case (chronologically)

1) Magic Massager - it's a silk cloth that you massage through. Great for chair massages, lets you do gliding strokes and effleurage like it's regular table massage. I always dreaded chair massages and now I look forward to doing them. It costs around $20, well worth it.

2) Olivella hand cream - hands down, the best hand cream I tried so far. It's made of olive oil.

3) My Bluetooth ear piece that comes with my cell phone. I have had it for 10 days and already can't imagine my life without it. When it gets busy between cleints I can change sheets, clean up etc and answer the phone at the same time. Also saves me time at the end of the day when I have to return back up phone calls.
I still don't think I'll massage and talk on the phone at the same time though! t023

Thanks for mentioning the Magic Massager. I should be getting mine any day now. I ordered it a couple days after I saw your post. I can't wait try it! A couple years ago I had received a chair massage by a MT who used one on me. I was so impressed with how he was able to deliver the massage. I had been meaning to look into finding it for my self and when I saw your post I knew I needed to finally get one.

My sacro-wedgy has dramatically improved my life. I had a wonky SI joint following abdominal surgery, and following some suggestions here in MassagePlanetL, I bought one. I had significant relief within a week, although it was painful at first. Now I do a tune up maybe twice a week. Aaaahhhhhhh!

Love the Magic Massager too! Never do a chair massage without it!
My Hot towel cabbi. I was spoiled at a spa with it, and couldn't immagine doing a massag without it now.

This website!!!!!!
I learn so much here, and I use this site as a daily tool to keep up on the latest trends, and techniques. I seriously don't know why every MT school doesn't have this website on hand to help their students!

Jojoba oil!

I just discovered it this year, thanks to this website. No more rancid oil smell or greasy clients.
