Sport Massage - Theory and Techniques for the Massage Therapist

In addition to techniques and protocols that have been shown to be effective in preventing injuries, boosting athletic performance, and facilitating recovery, this book offers a compilation of theoretical and practical information. Presented in an easy-to-understand, concise, and—above all—very useful manner, the material in this book differs from that of previous sport massage books. It offers suggested concepts for massage therapists who wish to work with athletes at all levels, from grassroots to elite, as well as for the general population of physically active people.
