Hey, hey. Hold it up just fine.
I'm with Ariel this morning.
So she she told me.
She says she can just feel where I'm tense.
And you know what? Just in second.
She said, Yep, right here.
Right here.
So good morning, Ariel.
Thanks so much for joining us.
So you're here downtown Toledo.
Ouch. Massage therapy.
So just walk us through how
long have you been here?
What's your inspiration behind
helping people out with massages?
Good morning, and thank you for having me.
I've been doing massage for four years.
Now, so my inspiration behind it
is really just helping people who
really need that therapy or that
deep touch just to really get them
in a comfortable place and happy.
So I was telling you when I walked
in that I find that massages hurt.
And what was your response? If it
hurts, it's because of the way
you're taking care of your body or,
you know, things like that.
Tight muscles, not stretching,
not enough water, lack of vitamin.
So it could be a variety of reasons.
So I got a lot of council.
This morning. Thanks. So.
So I gotta, gotta stretch it out,
drink a lot of water.
I think she said some
magnesium as well, right?
You said you said that helps.
So let's get into it.
So this morning, let's,
let's do a massage.
I guess so.
So what are you going to do?
We're just going to loosen
up shoulders for a minute,
get your neck nice and loose.
Feel so good right here.
Just a little little help when
it comes to just relaxation,
I appreciate it too. So welcome.
So talk to the folks and tell them
what do you offer here when it
comes to just massages in general,
my specialty is therapy works,
so deep tissue therapeutic services.
I do a little bit of barefoot
massage mixed with tie.
So it's a deeper message with
stretching incorporated into that.
So something just caught me there.
You said barefoot massage.
What is the barefoot massage?
Barefoot massage is where I would
use my feet for most of the massage.
I'm a deeper pressure but less pain.
Ohh wow. I remember as a as a kid my
dad would have me walk on his back
just to just to massage things out.
So when when it comes to your clients,
what are you seeing?
Most of the time because so many
people are on their cell phones,
they work at a desk.
Maybe their posture isn't the best.
So what are some of the common things
that you see when it comes to tension
and areas where they need a lot of work,
right where I'm at with you,
your shoulders and neck,
a lot of people come in for shoulders,
neck, low back pain, hips, you know,
just sitting a lot, typing, looking
down. So coming into you, you,
you work on the shoulders,
you work on the neck.
Is it, is it completely.
Put their hands or do you use any other
products to assist in that regard?
It is a. Designed to be
customized for that client.
So depending on what you have going on,
it could be a variety of
a relaxation therapeutic,
deep tissue, deep tissue,
barefoot relaxation.
I just kind of go off what I feel
that that client needs at that moment.
So it's all about what
you feel with your hands.
So for me just tell the folks we can
expose it a little bit you're feeling,
I'm assuming most of the problems
my shoulders, you are correct,
you are correct.
I gotta work on that.
Well, where can people find
you? I am located at 340
N Erie, downtown Toledo.
The address is also located on
the website whichisouchtoledo.com.
Well, thanks so much.
And I guess you, you offer,
what, 6090 minute massages as 60
minutes and 90 minutes? Yes, sounds
good. Well, Diane and Amanda,
I'll see you guys later.
Looks relaxed. Yeah, you know,
I every time I go and get a massage,
I get a 60 minute and they're
like you really need the 90.
I guess that carry a lot of tension too.
That was good info though.
Steven with the neck and the shoulders,
that's where my stresses.
So I guess I'm going to
have to head downtown.
He's going to finish the work here.
Yeah, he might have fallen
asleep after working.
Yeah, you're clear.
