Sport Injuries - Assessment and Treatment Protocol for the Massage Therapist

The Sport Injuries course is designed to help prepare the massage therapist interested in applying their skills in a sports setting. Since massage therapists frequently work alone in teams, they must be skilled in acute care as well as follow assessment and treatment protocols. The massage therapist can determine the urgency of the situation and, if necessary, make a referral for additional medical care based on the information provided. It is critical that sport massage therapists understand their limitations and adhere to their scope of practice.
