Specialization in massage therapy practice is NOT about methods. It is about adaptation of foundational massage.
I acquired many specializations over my 40+ years of practice by being an excellent self-teacher, learning from clients with shared experiences, trial and error and classes about the specifics such as how to swing a golf club. Never was good at it but understood it better.
I ended up as a specialist for football by working with professional teams for 25 years. Same with basketball and golf.
I learned about sports injury because I looked up each one, over and over, thinking about how to help with massage application and not make it worse. I certainly learned from mistakes.
I learned about interdisciplinary care by being in the settings and working with others. I learned about pain both acute and chronic by staying up to date with research. This takes time.
