"This isn't a gimmick. It's mutual aid with muscle."
Fighting the Forces of Tension, one elbow at a time!
Justice. Relief. One elbow at a time.
The People's Elbow stands ready to defend your community against the Forces of Tension! We're not just another massage service - we're a mutual aid initiative bringing care directly to card shops, community markets, and spaces where people gather.
With our 50/50 split model, we ensure that both the massage therapist and host venues benefit equally. When you join the Convention of Tension Prevention, you become part of a movement dedicated to community wellness. No upselling, no data collection, just pure community-focused care.
We amplify local causes without imposing our own agenda.
We serve communities without collecting emails or upselling packages.
Our superhero persona makes care approachable with sincere intentions.
Behind the golden cape is Alex, Licensed MT #013193 - a massage therapist who believes that community care shouldn't cost communities their autonomy.
The People's Elbow persona emerged from a simple realization: wellness services can feel intimidating or clinical. A superhero character makes care more approachable while maintaining professional standards and genuine therapeutic skill.
"Proving that communities can build their own infrastructure for care. One massage, one venue, one $10/year website at a time."
Professional equipment meets superhero dedication
We've reached build 100 of The People's Elbow website! This milestone represents our commitment to transparency, community-driven development, and the radical idea that mutual aid infrastructure should be freely copyable.
This entire website - forms, database, hosting, and all - runs on Cloudflare for about $10 per year. No hidden costs, no vendor lock-in, no corporate dependencies.
Steal this site! Fork our open-source code, adapt it for your community's mutual aid project, and start serving your neighbors with the same low-cost, high-impact approach.
Mutual aid means building infrastructure that communities can own, understand, and replicate. Every commit, every build, every improvement is documented and freely shareable.
Bring The People's Elbow to card shops, nail salons, fitness centers, boutiques, and other small businesses for events and community days.
You choose the cause - hyper-local community targets work best. Massage sessions raise funds for YOUR chosen community initiative.
Special events, festivals, and community gatherings where people come together and could use some tension relief.
Behind the superhero persona lies serious professional equipment.
