PROGRAM DETAILS

The Massage Therapist is often confronted with clients that present soft tissue injuries from athletic activities. They want to know what they should do about the injury, if they should stop their activity or sport, see a doctor, self treat, leave it alone, use ice or heat and a myriad of other questions concerning their dilemma.

This one-day seminar will address all of those concerns. Participants will learn how to evaluate an injury within the scope of a massage practice, when to refer out and what specific massage techniques are beneficial to use depending on the injury. You'll also come to understand which techniques are contraindicated, when to apply ice or heat and other valuable suggestions and plans of action. The common myths of injury will be clearly addressed as well, presented with the latest findings and research.
