Sports Massage

Massage CE Program

Sports Massage Materials Enroll Now

Learn essential sports massage techniques through this graduate-level home study program. The core study materials in this continuing education program are a thorough 125-minute video with a corresponding photographic manual, both presented by renowned instructor James Mally, ND, LMT.

After you watch the video program through its entirety and review the course manual to gain an overview of the massage techniques, you can practice the clearly-shown techniques in the video as you watch it for a second time. Plus, you can practice with a volunteer subject as you refer to the corresponding manual, which is designed with its own stand so you can set it next to your massage table for easy reference. This practical experience will help reinforce what you have learned.

In this course, you will learn:

  • PNF stretches;
  • Reciprocal inhibition;
  • Trigger point and strain/counterstrain techniques;
  • Injury evaluation and treatment;
  • Cross fiber friction;
  • Common sports injuries; and
  • Pre- and post-event massage techniques.

In addition, you will also learn 12 tests for assessing the causes of shoulder pain. You will also get a form created to record and interpret the results of these assessments, which you can use in your massage practice to help you plan your client's treatment.

Testimonials

Very well put together, concise and informative. The video and pictures were extremely helpful. The photo summaries of all treatments on one page are excellent guides to work with. My sincere thanks for this great course.

- G. John, Sr. CMT, NCTMB

Your course gave me in-depth information and detailed descriptions. MUCH more than I expected. Thank you for the great opportunity.

- P. Duffy, LMT, NCTMB

This is the absolute best teacher and video and book. I keep watching it and reading the book. Recommend it to all students and LMTs. It is what we should have learned in school but didn't. Thank you for providing this excellent course.

- G. Lindsey, LMT, NCTMB, AMTA

I thought that the course was exceptional. I love the DVD and the handout flipbook coursework. They are presented very clearly and are an excellent reference guide. I know that I will be using these techniques in my practice and I will be able to refer back to both the DVD and handouts whenever I have a client who presents with specific type injuries.

- K. Redfern, LMT, NCTMB, AMTA
