Firearms training can cause common injuries such as rotator cuff issues, shoulder impingement, neck strain, and trigger finger due to repetitive motions and awkward postures. These conditions often result in pain, weakness, and stiffness. Veterans experiencing such issues can benefit from massage therapy, which is frequently covered by insurance with a doctor's prescription.

Deep tissue techniques like Ashiatsu massage can alleviate pain, improve blood flow, and reduce muscle tension. Regular sessions, combined with proper posture, stretching, and strength training, help prevent future injuries and enhance shooting performance.
