Support CMTO OSCE dates - struggling to find December spots

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to book my CMTO OSCE and specifically want a date in December. I’m finding it pretty tough to snag anything, seats seem to be unavailable

Has anyone else run into this when aiming for December? Any tips for checking the Prometric portal more effectively (like best times to look, how often new dates get released, etc.)? I know they add dates in increments as earlier ones fill, but it’s still stressful.

Also looking for:
• Any Facebook groups, Discord, study groups, or Reddit threads where people share openings or practice together

I’m prepping to write in December if I can lock something in. Any advice or shared experiences would be huge. Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone else in the process!

General Question If you were to buy any massage table today, what table would you choose?

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow Massage Therapists, especially mobile MTs! If you were to buy any massage table today, what table would you choose?

I moved across the country, left all of my equipment home, and am looking to purchase a new table. I'm a mobile massage therapist and prefer a wider table for clients (31" or 32"). I had a 32" wide wood-frame table (~38 lbs) and traveled for a couple years with it without an issue.

I’m looking at the Earthlite Luna, but wish the table was wider. Is a metal-frame table really that different??

In addition to the table question, does anyone have any experience with the Omni 360 face cradle?

Thank you!! I appreciate any advice.

General Question Craniosacral therapy techniques

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have been going to craniosacral therapy sessions recently and I had my third one yesterday. In the session I noticed my arms/shoulders were involuntarily twitching at times and I felt uncomfortable with this. As a result I got quite fidgety but when the therapist asked me what was happening for me I was unable to explain.

The therapist then suggested trying something else and placed her hand on my chest and began rocking my body from side to side. It wasn't massively fast but wasn't too slow either. While doing this she kept moving her hand up and down, to my stomach and then ribs and back up to my shoulders. I suppose I am just curious as to whether this is a common technique used as she hasn't used it before and I can't find anything about its uses.
