Description
This comprehensive online class includes more than two hours of sports massage detailing 13 sessions that will give you the tools to work with runners, cyclists, swimmers, tennis players and other athletes. Learn about the physiological principles that govern sports massage and the differences between each sport.

Each session is a complete treatment protocol that will help to keep your athlete in top shape, recover from injuries, and improve their performance.
