Post endurance event massage for amputees
I will be giving post event warm down massage at an upcoming event and one team will be an amputee team, which is a new area for me. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice on techniques, areas of focus, musculoskeletal problems associated with using prosthetic limbs in endurance events?
Any advice, experiences or literature suggestions welcome.

Hope it goes well for you. |
