  • The best sports massage treatment starts with understanding the muscle you are working on and how it responds to manual therapy. The pectoralis major drives much of the shoulder and upper body movement, so knowing its origin, insertion, and action lets you apply treatment with real precision rather than working blind. Learn more in The Anatomy and Physiology of Sports Massage by Portia B. Resnick. The book overlays anatomical illustrations onto hands-on treatment photos for every area of the body, and pairs each technique with muscle function and stressor considerations to help you match your approach to the results your clients want. Available on the Human Kinetics website.
