Sports Massage means different things, depending on the timing of the massage relative to an extreme effort - whether it be a race, game or meet.
Participants will learn what criteria determine the appropriate massage protocols for pre-event, post-event and inter-competition massage. You will practice a post-event routine that is suited for runners, cyclists, or swimmers (triathlon season is coming right up!).
Supplies and considerations:
- Prerequisite - at least 300 hours of massage training
- Bring - sheets and lubricant
- Wear - running shorts or tights, t-shirt and/or sports top
John Conway B.A., L.M.T., M.T.I. began practicing massage therapy in 1981. His background, prior to his massage studies, was in construction, gardening, journalism, and English Literature (B.A. Rice University, 1969). His early massage and bodywork training was with Zach Elrod, Bob King and numerous other national-level presenters. John was certified in sports massage by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) in 1986. Since that time he has worked countless triathlons, marathons, swim meets and track meets, and has been teaching sports massage for over 20 years. He served as Education Director for the Texas Chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association from 1988 through 1992 and was one of the original faculty members of the Texas School of Massage Studies. His fascination with communicating the power of bodywork as a tool for change is reflected in his teaching and his clinical practice.
