Sports Massage Therapy
There has been increased awareness of the availability of alternative therapies for musculoskeletal conditions.
Injuries are not physical activity prone - prolonged sitting and deskbound hours can take a toll on one's wellbeing if left unchecked.
Join us to get a better understanding of what the body may experience during injuries, and gain new skills and knowledge on how to assist in facilitating the recovery from musculoskeletal conditions today!
Spanning over 32 learning hours, this workshop has been a great fit for many of our students.
The primary objective is to impart the general knowledge and basic skills of providing a deep tissue sports massage to facilitate athlete preparation and recovery. Depending on the conditions presented, the skills and techniques taught in this workshop course can also be applied to aid recoveries in various musculoskeletal conditions.
