the importance of massage as a tool for the trainer/physio

I can't help but emphasis the importance of massage as a diagnostic tool for the trainer or the physio. It enables a better understanding of your client's muscle tension and his readiness for the level of workout intensity required. An experienced trainer/physio will be able to find out if the client is on his way to getting a strain or a pull just by palpating the muscle.

Manytrainers/ physios i have observed try to stay away from massaging their clients because of the hard work required . They would rather put their clients immediately in a machine or on a foam roller to ease the tension. Regrettably, this takes away one of the most effective ways to improve client rapport and a valuable tool in injury prediction and prevention.
