Enable your clients and patients to get back in the game and live pain free after injury. Sport Massage for Injury care explains the types of soft tissue injuries most common in sport and how to treat these. To ensure underlying causes of injuries are treated and athletes aren't left susceptible to re-injury, this essential guide emphasises the importance of accurate assessment and evaluation. It focuses on 20 of the most common neuromuscular injuries and offers treatment options, injury-specific protocols and self-care options for when the athlete is not on the treatment table. You will learn the most effective techniques and see each one presented with vivid photos and step-by-step instructions. Detailed anatomical illustrations show the muscles, joints and soft tissues involved. Practitioner examples and case studies give you a glimpse into how other professionals use the techniques with their clients. Clinical sports massage therapy is often the missing component in injury-rehabilitation programmes. With Sport Massage for Injury Care you have the ultimate practical resource for relieving pain and getting your clients and patients back to their best.
