The McKinnon BTC’s Sport Massage course focuses on working with clients who are involved in physically demanding activities. We emphasize using massage to promote greater ease and range of movement and to prevent injury, speed recovery, and minimize the effects of overuse. We discuss the choice of appropriate techniques, depths, and tempos for pre-event, training, post-event, and rehabilitative massage. Techniques are drawn from friction massage, active muscle relaxation techniques, trigger-point, deep-tissue, passive movement, exercise physiology, kinesiology, sports first-aid, and martial arts movement.
