Injury work is a focusing of all a practitioner's talents upon soft tissue damage.
The nature of the injury determines the techniques used. Common injuries that respond well to massage are tendonitis, muscle cramps and spasms, strained backs, stiff necks and any muscle soreness due to overexertion. Injury work may be combined with other modalities of massage or an entire session could be devoted to an area of pain. Injury work significantly speeds recovery and may resolve some complaints with only one treatment
