Massage in this context is designed to prevent and relieve injuries and conditions that are associated with intense physical exertion. It can be carried out before, during, or after an event or training and uses techniques that are designed to increase endurance and performance. It minimises the chances of injury and, if there is an injury, it reduces the recovery time.
This sports massage course is available to practising massage therapists and those who have an interest in sport and sports massage. The aim is to maximise the education of both experienced and novice massage therapists by creating and presenting quality massage training. The course will benefit the practitioners interested in professional development and applications of sports massage within the athlete’s training circle
