Sports Massage techniques are used with clients ranging from serious athletes to the moderately active for injury prevention, performance enhancement, and faster recovery. This course will cover the main applications of sports massage (pre-event massage, post-event massage, maintenance, and rehabilitative), assessment of clients (verbal, visual & palpation), range-of-motion, and P.N.F. stretches. We will review common sport injuries, and discussion on the psychology of working with athletes. You will learn how to use these tools effectively to benefit clients of all activity levels.
Techniques reviewed: Applications of various techniques from Western Massage (i.e. tapotement, vibration, petrissage, etc.), Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Massage, Hydrotherapy (heat & cold), PNF and stretching.
