Ask Austin Is there a good massage parlor within the city that strictly focuses on face/jaw massage?

• Upvotes

Most mainstream places focus on sport massages, deep tissue or just general work up, but many of them don’t really work your face. Like if you go for a deep tissue and ask for some face work, they will give you some treatment but it’s usually at the end after they work your upper back, spine and shoulders. Don’t get me wrong, it helps, but then the clock is up.

I literally want someone to put my face, and lower jaw through a wringer because i have TMJ and also bruxism (teeth grinding).

I just need a quick 30 minutes of someone with strong thumbs to fix my jaw tension, my temples, forehead and scalp.

As an alternative does anyone know where i can buy tools to massage it myself if there are no parlors? I usually use my thumbs, but im obviously not trained

Traffic (Resolved) Where’s the compassion in Austin?

463 Upvotes

Today when I got off my 12 hour to head home , I ran into traffic (shocking I know) on Menchaca. Eventually I got to past what was causing the traffic jam and it was a car broken down in the only available lane. Everyone was just passing the guy and no one helped which I thought was crazy! So o pulled over went and talked to the guy to offer to move the car. Turned out he couldn’t move it bc the emergency brake can also disengage when there’s power. So unfortunately we had to jump the car in the middle of the road before we could move it.

What blew my mind was that so many people drove people very angrily , I got called a dumbass and was flicked off and it wasn’t even my car! I was shocked at the hostility and lack of compassion. Like obviously no one wanted to be in the middle of busy road but that was the situation.

It’s not all bad, a cool biker came by and tried to help and a very sweet couple came to help just in time to help push the car out the way and clear the traffic.

I guess my point is saying that if people were just kind and help one person, it helps everyone

TxDOT mentioned this section of the boardwalk will be closed 10/12 - 12/19 but I happened to see somebody's recorded run from this morning and they went through the entire portion.

Just curious on if anybody knows if it's actually open. I plan on going through tomorrow and don't want to detour if I don't have to. Thanks!

Kids trampoline bday party

0 Upvotes

I’m trying to book a trampoline park bday package for my daughter’s 10th birthday in December. Anyone have a good experience at any trampoline parks in Austin? We’re on a tight budget but she never has good bday parties like the rest of her class so we want to do something special for her this year. We have about $400 saved so far. We want to invite about 18-20 girls. Let me know any good experiences you guys have! Even if they aren’t at trampoline parks - we’re open to other ideas as well. Thanks you guys!!

Ask Austin Urgently need help with this stray cat

Post image
57 Upvotes

My husband and I have been feeding this sweet cat (we call him Socks) for over a year now since he was an adolescent. We already have four cats so we aren’t able to take him in, and I guess his scent has started to seriously trigger one of our girl cats to the point that she freaks out and gets extremely scared of our other cats.

I’ve looked into trapping him and taking him to the shelter but the timing for intake doesn’t work for either of our schedules. Can anyone please help? He’s such a sweet little guy and deserves a home, I wish we could help more than just feeding him 🥹

Dog Running Across Streets Downtown

Dog seen downtown/zilker ish area

A small-medium dog spotted around 5:15 pm near webber field. We tried to catch up to little buddy but he was zooming and seemed scared. Maybe a golden/sheltie/some kind of mix? Wasn't super clear, had a bandana/collar, it was pink.

If someone does run into the puppy pls check collar for contact info. Worried the puppy will run into traffic again.
