Course: BTEC Diploma in Sports Massage practice
Details: So why study sports massage?
Just imagine you have a client like this…
A 30 year old Rugby Player comes to you with a bad pain in his right knee.
What do you do? Do you turn him away?
Frustrating huh? Because without the right training, you may feel inadequate and just have to say you can’t help.
But there is an answer to this dilemma!
When you study sports massage with us, you will be 100% in control.
Here’s why…
Because you will be able to:
· Palpate the patella looking for inflammation (i.e. heat).
· Observe the area for possible swelling.
· Apply the Appley’s Test to test for a collateral ligament sprain or tear.
· Apply the Lachman’s Test to test for a cruciate ligament sprain or tear.
· Apply the Macmurray’s or Appley’s Compression Tests to test for meniscal tears.
Huh? Does that all sound like Latin to you?
Well, after just 15 days of training all this will make perfect sense to you,
and you would be using those tests confidently and knowledgeable.
And when you know what’s wrong, you may treat the injury using a massage to quads, hamstrings, calf and patella to reduce swelling and fluid in the area.
The severity of the injury would of course also dictate the depth of the tissue work.
Easy right?
And there is more…
And guess what…
All the techniques you learn will apply to Joe Public who has twisted their ankle tripping down a stair or Joanne Public who has some RSI. It’s not only for sports injuries. It applies to other injuries too!
