001 Why I Started Orthopedic Massage Therapy
To understand why I stared Orthopedic Massage Therapy we have to go back in time. In 1997, I use to weight train 5 to 6 days a week and this led to a lower back injury. I use to train in several gyms in central Arlington (Gold’s on 303, the Q close to Parks Mall (now its 24hr fitness), and MetroFlex). Due to all the training, this led to lots of tightness of my body, especially my lower back. I injured my lower back on a really, really light leg day. At the time I thought, I didn’t do anything.
