"ALEXSON ROY: Now, why sports massage? I already explained everything that has to do with sports massage and, pretty much, why or who it deals with, or whatever. So the thing is, is sports massage, other than any other massage, because the whole thing is that you're focusing on the joints. Joints are the first thing to go in the athlete. It's so unfortunate. As athletes, we have to deal with age. Anyways, so what we're going to do is we're going to focus on the joints, okay, and the muscles attributed to the joints. And so that's what we're going to do. And we're always going to start a massage by connecting with the client first, okay?
