Very cool... Thanks Spencer.... As an Oregon LMT, I have decided to close for at least March and April. I know that I can do my best sanitizing my room, linens, etc, etc... there is nothing I can do about the respiratory transmission.... I'm 69, most of my clients are seniors, so we're all in the high risk group. Thanks for the links... Take care...
The gift card thing is a GREAT idea. After being locked in the house with the kids for a month with nothing to eat but peanut butter crackers... people are going to NEED a massage.
I missed you. I was wondering what happened. It has been more than a month since your last video. I am glad that you came back and provided much needed information.
*Spencer: Your legion of Gay male viewers thanks you for showing up and brightening our days with your beautiful smile and spirit. Take care & Namaste!* 😉🤙
My work place has not closed but I stopped going in I don’t want to put myself or my clients at risk just knowing that I could have the virus with no symptoms and potentially pass the virus to my clients make me extremely nerves. This morning 2 cases were reported in the city I work 😣
I work for one of those national chains. Our franchise is closed till April 1st however our owners are going to pay us for the service hours we would have had. Granted we won't get the gratuities it's better than nothing and they didn't even have to do that much. I think it's great. Fortunately after Hurricane Michael I think everyone knows to have a few months salary saved up for emergencies such as this so hopefully we'll be fine. Great video, inspirational as always. Keep up the good work.
I'm in my 1st year of working as a massage therapist and was just starting to build up a clientele. I do massage at a gym, and unfortunately got closed down due to the fact that in my area gyms had to close. I'm fortunate that I have an employer who can take care of me. This has taught me that if you're new and are able to it's good to work for a business that's already well established in case something like COVID 19 happens. If you work for someone else ask for a stipend, and if they can't afford that right now then ask them if there is a time that they will be able to. They might still say no, but it's worth a shot.
Happy to see new videos and I'm glad you're doing well. I'm in FL and our spa has been closed for weeks. I miss work and my coworkers so much :( This is such a scary and sad time. I hope it's all over sooner then later.
Glad to see you back and with this special video about this nasty virus. Thanks Spencer for all your suggestions and information. Thumbs up for it as well as your dance moves! 👍🏼👍🏼
AMTA and ABMP have both stated that everyone should be closed unless it's medically necessary, ie Oncology massage, and surgical recovery lymphatic drainage. I work for a chiropractor and I'm off until at least april
Hello Spencer I’m from the U.K. I have a condition known as cervical dystonia. Which on the right side of my neck. I’ve had this since about 1994 , I’m 62, these are uncontrollable spasms which causes the muscles to contract. This is painful. Do you have any suggestions for self massage which would release some of the pain and stress. I have treatment, this is Botox injections every 10 to 12 weeks. It would be great if there was some self massage which would help. Really like the channel. Videos any listening are very relaxing. In these times keep safe to you and everyone where ever you are.
My work STILL hasn’t closed yet. My coworkers and I are becoming VERY worried about getting sick and getting our family members sick because we have had several clients who are still coming in with things like runny noses, sore throats, coughs, etc... None of us feel comfortable refusing clients for fear of consequences. We’re just being told we should just do things like “upgrade to an aromatherapy to clear the clients’ sinuses” or “it’s probably just their allergies”. We’re also afraid of what will happen if we voice our discomfort of feeling like we don’t have a choice but to come into work. This time is so difficult for people in this profession right now....
I am sooo happy that you are on with your channel.... I understand it's because your taking a break.... I was watching old videos and I have noticed that you are not active but I still subscribe. I personally think if you live healthy eat maximum sometimes 2 meals (better just 1) stay away from sugar and sleep hungry And finally stress.... Is the killer I hope you are all well
That’s odd. My last name is Harwood too and do massage. Does anyone know about doing massage at chiropractors. In MN all businesses offering massage should be closed but some chiropractors still have therapists working. In my mind given that it’s all businesses chiropractors should be included because even though chiropractors themselves fall under the “essentials” Massage is a totally different thing.
devin harwood I work I conjunction with my Chiropractor - many people do not want opioids following an MVA - prefer to healed naturally. So no “Spa type” massages right now - strictly therapeutic- Take Care
Hi Spencer, great advice for people in US but please don't assume everyone watching is there. An acknowlege that much of the advice is only relevant for US residents would go a long way to recognising your other subscribers! Xx

This is what exactly we are on state right now. For us therapists secure of health. Everything is need. Thank you for being positive and good wisdom.
I think it's great that even though your state didn't such you down, you took the time to make this video, to help others!

It's good you're taking a break from your practice. I'm an employee for a chain and we're closed until next month. Such a crazy time.
