About the Workshop:
Sports Massage for Runners will prepare therapists to more effectively know how best to massage clients who run consistently–including competitive athletes.
By developing a better understanding of–
- the stresses inherent with running
- the body’s abilities to adapt to those stresses
- the major mechanical (muscular and joint) relationships, most heavily impacted by running…
Sports Massage for Runners learning outcomes:
- Understand why a bipedal gait limits the body’s ability to absorb shock–and, how our bodies have adapted to this particular form of locomotion.
- Understand how the pelvis acts as a keystone, in transmitting force and stabilizing the entire body.
- Begin to recognize how the fascial system allows our bodies to develop compensatory tensions–and, whether or not to address them.
- Understand that massage, alone, cannot overcome overtraining–nor, poor running mechanics
- Learn the importance of two primary mechanical relationships (specifically, foot/ankle–hip/pelvis— and—hip/pelvis–vertebral column)--and, how managing them appropriately, can make all the difference in their client’s staying injury-free
