Referral rule is that acute, unexplained, or worsening pain goes to a licensed clinician, not to more table time.
In 📝Sports Therapy the table does not diagnose a tear, a stress fracture, or a nerve injury. Swelling, night pain, numbness, giving-way, or a pop at the event is out of scope. The rule is a stop, not a failure of bodywork, and not a claim that everything else is safe to load.
Clients are told this before a training block so they know when to call a clinician instead of booking another session.
