Curious of what "sideline" life is like? đ§đ€
I've gotten a lot of questions from curious clients of what it's like to do sport massage. And all I can say is it's not as glamorous as you think, but oh so rewarding.
And I love anything that pulls back the curtains and shows the behind the scenes. So here you go!
We've got a decently sized team with 2 Athletic Therapists (trainers), a chiropractor, 2 sports med doc's and myself for home games.
So while being a new team to Oshawa, we are making do with what we have. What a metaphor for Durham Region.
Our Docs and head Trainer are in the trainer's room in the dressing room. So The 3 of us have made ourselves a home in the hall here.
I play DJ because it is so foreign to treat without music.
In no time this place gets buzzing with activity of players getting treated before warm ups.
When the pre game buzz dies off for a bit, this turns into our meeting place. Trading stories, presenting cases and truly growing and learning together.
So maybe this may seem like a reverse but I don't agree. She doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but it has everything we need.
The basics.
The fundamentals
The creativity
All needed to build a great foundation.
Let's Firewolves, Let's go!
