Warmup routine for therapist

[Jose Myth]

Hi all

Just a query really. What routine do people use for warming themselves up? I am trained as a classical piano player and apart from scales warm up we did not get ourselves ready for playing. Having recently qualified VTCT Level 3 Dip we were taught to warm up ourselves by head rotating, shoulder rotating, finger flashing, stretch fingers, arms, torso side to side. Must say this is a great limbering up routine and helps with my piano playing. Also friends who have done Reiki were having a Reiki circle which I joined in with before we met our final assessment clients in the college salon. Worked a treat. Was able to be calm, focused, relaxed and enjoyed giving the treatment. Any comments, tips welcome.

Hi there John,

Just to let you know of my own personal thing I do in "warming up". I work in the evenings (after day job). I shower to "rid of the day" and often feel tense. I do neck rotations, some yoga where necessary and given time but I find that if I spend about 15 mins before a client comes for treatment to do some reiki on myself to cleanse myself of any negativity of the day and that works for me. You have to be calm and focused before you meet a client plus also physically able to do the treatment. I do, during the day try to do wrist rotations and stretching of the fingers etc.

I must say that I love classical piano, having watched numerous concerts I am always in awe of the passion the musicians have.


Love & blessings,

Rachel

Hi,

This is one of the problems as I am often quite busy and quite honestly I don't often make the time in between treatments, travelling, and other life commitments. However, when I do I like to have a shower a clean change of clothes and sit down and do some grounding visualisations and violet ray. I don't want to try to centre my energies, so I am not all over the place myself - as how can I give someone else a relaxing treatment if I'm not centred.

As far as exercised go, well I have been a bit lazy, but I think it is a very good idea to do that.
