Sports Massage Level 3

Sports Massage Level 3

Sports massage uses various techniques to manipulate soft tissue in order to relieve the tight and tender sensations built up through engagement in physical activity.  The tight and tender spots can lead to tension which can cause pain.  Pain can reduce the enjoyment of your chosen activity or affect your daily life.

Sports massage is a deep form of soft tissue mobilisation. A sports massage can be applied in a sporting and non-sporting context. Sports massage involves a wide range of techniques that include effleurage, kneading, wringing, hacking and trigger pointing.

Sports massage will address the imbalances which build up through repetitive actions, sports or activities of daily living and get you back to doing the things you love.

Level 3 or Level 5 Sports Massage – what’s the difference

Only a level 5 (and above) Sports Massage therapist is trained and certified to assess and treat a condition and offer a comprehensive rehabilitation program.  A level 5 therapist may also provide some osteopathic techniques and dry needling.
