ITEC Diploma in Sports Massage
Sports Massage is the answer to emotional and physical well being for an athlete before, during and after their performance. It is a specific type of massage which helps prepare the athlete for the desired performance, to relax the nerves and prevent injuries. This type of massage can be rendered only by a professional who has a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology and particularly the muscular and skeletal systems. It works deep on the body to eliminate toxins embedded in muscle fibers, remove adhesions and minimize scar tissue build-up. It also leads to improved circulation which aids better cell nutrition, greater elasticity of muscle fibers and a reduced recovery time after injury.
