Workshop Description
Performance based sports massage is a collection of techniques that can be integrated into a session to assist athletes or physically active clients to perform or move more effectively. These curated techniques have helped athletes/active clients feel that their body was affected and engaged. These advance techniques are easily implemented and continually elicit a distinctive advantage.
Performance based sports massage is great for new therapists and seasoned therapists alike, who need a few more tools in their belt, who want to liven their massages, or just want to work on their clients in a way they hadn’t considered before.
The learning objectives of the course include:
- Students will learn to integrate myofascial, deep tissue, and active movement therapies into anatomically specific sports massage sessions to assist athletes or physically active clients.
- Students will learn to enhance their therapeutic value by learning and integrating muscle-specific treatment techniques.
- Students will learn advanced sports techniques for muscle and fascial adhesions, and how to address patterns of held tension.
- Students will review major muscle groups used in various sports, including origins, insertions, actions of each muscle.
- Students will fortify their confidence in working with commonly used large muscle groups and gain a detailed understanding of applied techniques.
- Students will learn how to work as part of a healthcare team in tandem with Physical Therapists or Personal Trainers.
