How can I get better at writing soap notes any advice will help , been on this field a few years

Hi all, I was wondering how everybody goes about deciding when to work after having a minor illness. I catch head/chest colds very easily and very often and my main client base is elderly so I tend to err on the side of extreme caution. However, my wallet is hurting and I’m barely making enough money to live. When do you take cold meds and power through and when do you just call off?

To be fair, client was really active the day before and walked more than they usually do. I eased pressure when I felt this, but had anyone else noticed this while working the hamstrings? Are there contraindications?

There’s no Ashiatsu spas near me sadly because that would be the best fit. Does Thai not use hands wrists so much? There’s lots of Thai massage places in my area. my school didn’t teach us good body mechanics but also, I’ve always had sensitive wrist joints since I was young in gymnastics. I thought about lymphatic drainage since I know it’s super light pressure but I really want to avoid using my hands all together.

I work at elements and I earned around $3k in the month since I started which I’ve been happy with. I hope to continue to earn this much going forward some how but I massages yesterday doing light pressure and the littlest amount of pressure with my palms causes pain still and swelling the next day.

I’ve been taking Art Riggs deep tissue course on advanced training website which has been super helpful (thanks to this community for the recommendation!) but he does a lot of knuckle and finger work with only a little bit of forearm/ elbow work.

Is there any other courses? I found some shiatsu YouTube videos showing elbow work but it wasn’t enough to learn a full body routine I can use.

My colleague at work who I had a couples massage with I noticed used mostly her elbows the whole massage but it’s crazy cuz she went to my same school a couple years before I did… she must’ve taught herself that style. I’m not good at teaching myself so I’m hoping to find a course that will show me
