The key is being to accurately find the muscle, which is the first step in any injury treatment, if you can't find it you can't fix it. Also understanding the importance of slowing down, using bony landmarks to make palpation easier, and knowing what questions to ask the client is the key to go from providing a service, to becoming a solutions provider.
