Mastering Compression Techniques: Enhancing Performance & Recovery

​Designed for sports/athletic trainers, recovery specialists, and fitness enthusiasts seeking to refine their skills in evidence-based compression methods. Through a blend of theory and hands-on practice, participants will learn to apply manual compression techniques—including palm, thumb, forearm, elbow, and dynamic compression—to optimise athletic performance, accelerate recovery, and reduce injury risks.

 

Delve into the physiological mechanisms behind compression, exploring its impact on blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and muscle tension.

In the fast-paced world of sports, efficient recovery is as crucial as training itself. Compression techniques play a vital role in reducing muscle soreness, enhancing circulation, and minimising inflammation, allowing athletes to perform at their peak while staying resilient against injuries. 

 

Deliver immediate and long-term benefits to their clients, bridging the gap between performance and recovery. This course empowers you with practical, science-backed tools to elevate your practice and make a measurable difference in athletes' well-being and success.
