This is a good explanation why we as massage therapists have shut down our practices.

Shut It Down: COVID-19 Update I spent Friday and Saturday self-quarantined because I massaged 2 healthy clients in the same family with no fever or symptoms of coronavirus.

Anybody suffering from chronic sore throats?

Do you see that? That tiny strip of a skeletal muscle?
