SPORTS
MASSAGE
DESCRIPTION
Many body
masseurs are now applying their skills and
techniques into the sporting arena with great
success.
This type of
treatment is finding a niche market in the
health and fitness facilities, and many
therapists are offering this service both as
part of their employment and on a freelance
basis.
This course
is designed to enable therapists to have a
greater understanding and appreciation of the
specific needs of sports participants in the
preparation for and recovery from
activity.
The
course will also investigate the value of
sports massage in the early detection and
the prevention of sports injuries in
addition to being a valuable tool in the
rehabilitation of such
conditions.
