Helping Massage Therapists Build a Business after Massage School
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses due to infection (viral or bacterial), allergy, or autoimmune issue. It includes swelling and/ or pain in one or more nasal passages and can last for days, or even weeks.
It is the most common chronic illness in America, therefore massage therapists are learning lymph drainage techniques in order to help clients, family, and friends relieve sinus pain and pressure.
It is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection, allergies or autoimmune disease. Occasionally, structural abnormalities (such as a deviated septum), dental infections or nasal polyps (which can hold infected mucus) can cause the disorder.
Symptoms often include pain, congestion, and pressure in the sinuses, but can also include:
Treatment Options
Your physician may prescribe antibiotics or bed rest if he/she does not see signs of infection. Antihistamines may also be prescribed or over-the-counter drugs suggested.
Marble facial massage stones are a natural treatment option for relief of pain and congestion associated with chronic sinus issues.
Sinus issues fall into three categories: acute, chronic and allergenic (which could be both acute and chronic).
Acute sinus problems are usually from seasonal allergies and are temporary.
Chronic sinus issues are long term. They can be due to allergies, climate changes, food, or something unknown. Sinuses are usually inflamed for long periods of time.
Sinus pressure and headaches are often the hardest part of any sinusitis issues.
Benefits of Massage for Sinus Pain
If you can do self-massage, concentrate adding pressure along nasal passages, eyebrows and between eyebrows at the upper corners of the eyes.
Try adding sustained, specific, and direct pressure around eyes, ears, neck, head and jaw to facilitate congestion movement, but be sure no essential oils are on your hands when working around eyes..
Consultation with a doctor should be sought if symptoms persist beyond 2-3 days.

About Me
A few things about me and the creation of Massage Education Guide....
After 20 years of practicing massage, I decided to create an online resource for those who want to learn about what to do after massage school....how to build a business from scratch, how to create a website that works for your business, how to create social media posts to engage clients, how to create Facebook Ads, effective SEO practices, and so much more.
I have spent thousands of dollars on advertising my business in newspapers, only to get a few clients, that may or may not return and become a regular customer, and it almost drained me financially.
Finding a way to build my business online for free became my only goal, and I spent many hours studying how folks grow a business with little-to-no money through social media.
Now, because of all I went through to grow my business, I teach the benefits of building an online space, easy SEO and social media tips, and how sales funnels are now the way to make an additional online income, and make life so much better!
What's my passion? Massage therapy always and forever is my love, but helping people learn how to grow an online business is a very close second!
So, let's build your business, your dream, and grow together!
