My interest in massage began long ago in graduate school. As an exercise science student, I was curious about the relationship between pre and post exercise massage in how, or if, it influenced performance as well as recovery from exercise. While I didn't pursue massage therapy at that time, a seed was firmly planted and prepped to sprout at a later time.
