Introduction to Sports Massage and Massage Taboos
Whether, when and who may be massaged is strictly regulated by law. And rightly so, as masseurs work directly on the body!
For this reason, the Diploma Sports Masseur training course also explains trade law guidelines so that participants know who they are allowed to practice on after completing the course. The meaning of sports massage and how it differs from other massage practices is explained in detail.
But of course it is not just the legal aspect that is highlighted. Diseases of the skin or acute injuries are also discussed together so that it can be assessed in future whether or not people may be massaged.
This is why the medical history takes up a large part of the course. Our participants learn to recognize complaints and misalignments and, based on this, to assess the correct positioning of the client as well as the application and dosage of massage techniques.
Sports masseur training is a fantastic addition to other sports training and coaching activities, especially, but not only, in the competition sector.
