So I am currently in Massage Therapy school and at the moment we're learning about "Myofascial Release".

Fascia:
a. a band or sheath of connective tissue investing, supporting, or binding together internal organs or parts of the body.
b. tissue of this kind.


Basically working up to making the skin more loose. Not in a baggy sort of way. We pretty much roll the skin, stretch it, push it together, but not with very much pressure at all.We would also work on scars. This is really powerful stuff, I suppose you'd have to have had this worked on you or you learn how to work on it but it was really amazing. I had the pleasure of experience working on and being worked on when it came to this work.

When I had it worked on I had a small scar from several years ago when I went through I really hard time and so my therapist worked on it and it was strange because after she'd been working on it for a while it started feeling like when I first got the wound. Later on that day, I got really really emotional about it because some people thought it would be amusing to mock me when I usually just brush it off. This can last for up to a few days.

Also, today I worked on a classmate and I worked on her scar. She got ran over by a 4-wheeler and she got cut on her leg so there was a big scar there. I started to work on it and i started to feel nauseus, and my classmate started feeling nauseus as well. She also told me when the accident happened she did feel nauseus. So I told my teach that I felt this way and she told me to get water and go outside, so I did and I came back and I started to work on a DIFFERENT classmate but I still did feel nauseus so my teacher said I should stop so that my other classmate doesn't get sick as well, so I did. My classmate said she felt fine but later on during the day she felt sick as well. I didn't know that it could transfer from people to people like that, the only thing is that it can last a few days, tops, but still... very powerful work. And the classmate with the scar was crying really hard after it was worked on, it pretty much just brings all the emotions back from the time that person got that scar.

This slightly makes me feel like an empath, I feel their pain, I just thought I would share it because I am so amazed with it.

You are not an empath.

If you're allowed to live in your fantasy world, why can't she?

Let's not get off track from the main point of mocking emos.

I can understand the people feeling the emotions. The massage probably stirs up some muscle memory.

You might be feeling sympathetic pains.

Sympathetic pains = pain that isn't yours = emo.

As I said you'd have to get your scars worked on or work on someone else's scar. Then you will understand.

I'm sure we've all worked on a scar before.

The real cure is just to "Put some 'tussin on it".
If you run out of 'tussin put some water in the bottle and shake it up....Voila! More 'tussin!

You shouldn't really highly doubt people, and I was just trying to make a joke.

I didn't mean to seem rude, cause that wasn't my intensions. So sorry.

But I wasn't doubting people just the method.

What do you call it when someone throws up and you throw up in response? Cause I totally do that.

It depends. Are you throwing up just because they are, or is it the sight and smell of vomit?

But, to answer your question, both will cause me to toss my cookies.

One time I made the "Oh!" face because someone bought me a really nicely gift-wrapped box of candies, so I said "Oh!" -- My facial features then conveyed an expression of respect and happiness to the lovely lady who had bought such a kind gift of chocolate candy.
