Specialized pre and post- event techniques, as well as injury rehab protocols, are explored in detail. Psychological aspects of working with competitive, elite athletes is discussed as are the principles of sports nutrition, injury prevention and training.

Building upon the foundation laid in Fundamentals of Sports Massage, this course will focus on the approaches and techniques available for use when working consistently with an athlete or sports team. These techniques allow the therapist greater range than the techniques discussed in the Fundamentals course in dealing with problems in preparing athletes for competition or hard training, and in handling injuries during training or competition. This course is taught by a Certified Level Three Canadian Sports Massage Therapist who has experience working with high performance Olympic and professional athletes.
