Sports Massage and Muscle Performance Therapies Specialty

Massage techniques used in sports massage focus on performance and injury recovery, and can occur before or after a performance. Improving range of motion, relieving chronic pain and rejuvenating tired muscles are part of sports massage.

The student will be able to explain pre-event, post-event restorative (during training), and rehabilitative (for injuries) techniques, as well as demonstrate the basic movements for a sports massage.
