I am a parent of a teenage daughter that was recently was injured while running cross country. She was progressing in her rehab and had graduated to the point where it was recommended that she get a sports massage to work on her problem area.
First, a little background, I am a mid 40’s dad living in a very affluent and small town. We do not have much. We have 1 gas station. Very few roads with traffic lights. So seeking a sports massage, I didn’t think my options would be bountiful. I reached out to some friends, and found a licensed and certified therapist that could help my daughter. Being that it was her first appointment, she said she would be more comfortable if I at least stayed in an adjacent room while she was getting her work done.
So I was prepared to zone out and play on my phone for an hour while my daughter got her treatment.
