What should I expect during a session?
During a sports massage, finding the cause of the injury is very important. Your therapist uses the specific sport you play to help isolate why the injury happened and work out a treatment plan to successfully treat it. For example, runners sometimes suffer pain in the lower back. Knowing that they are a runner helps us isolate muscles that are under repetitive load so we can put together an affective treatment plan.
