The Sports Massage Introduction Course is a practical weekend course covering the fundamental principles of sports massage.

It is suitable for both the beginner and the working massage therapist and it will establish and improve your depth and sensitivity using effortless methods.

Techniques that will be covered include effleurage, petrissage and deep strokes, enabling you to give a top-to-toe deep tissue massage. Our focus will be to develop your skills, allowing you to give a safe and effective sports massage without stressing your hands.
