laxation and by many sports people as an aid to training and performance. As massage therapy is growing in popularity there is an increasing demand for highly trained therapists.

Diploma in Sports Massage
The course is an advanced course for qualifed massage therapists. It is designed to build on existing knowledge and is aimed at therapists who want to specialize in sports therapy. The demand for sports massage therapy has increased greatly in recent years because in most sports the quantity and intensity of training has increased significantly. To maximise the benefits of training it is essential that recovery strategies are an integral part of the overall training programme. Sports massage has now become a vital part of most athletes' and players' recovery. Sports massage is used to reduce fatigue and tissue damage following intensive training. It also eases tension in overworked muscles which reduces the risk of overuse injuries.Regular sports massage relieves the general accumulation of aches and pains that are associated with on-going training and competition. Too often sports people regard these as normal and ignore them unless they prevent them from training. Muscles that are free from tension and aches work more smoothly and contribute to better performance. This is what every sports person is searching for. This is the domain of sports massage therapy.
