Sports Massage

Summary

From theories and techniques on providing effective massages relevant to your clients’ needs, to setting up a practice and retaining clients, the Sports Massage audio book guides you through everything you need to know to pursue a successful sports massage career.

You’ll start out with the basics—what a sports massage is, how it differs from other massage types and how it evolved into the practice it is today, before learning about sports massage’s subtypes and the purposes of individual techniques.

The effects of sports massage are not singular but can be broken down into three components: physiological, physical, and psychological. This book explains how sports massage benefits each area and details particular benefits to the body, both before and after a sports event.
