Sports massage training: professionally massaging athletes

Sports massage is probably one of the oldest types of therapy in the sports sector. It is considered an extension of classic massage and is performed in a similar way. Even though it uses the techniques of classic massage, the focus here is on the individual needs of the customer and the muscles that are particularly stressed during sporting activity are treated specifically. The sports massage is much more powerful than the classic massage. Thanks to its treatment, even stubborn hardening and tension in the entire musculature of the body can be relaxed. The professional use of sports masseurs and masseuses helps athletes to recover after exercise and supports the rapid regeneration of muscles after exertion. This massage therapy is therefore an ideal addition to everyday training. It leads to increased performance and enables professional athletes in particular to achieve significantly greater success through greater fitness and shorter training intervals. However, this form of massage therapy is not only popular with professionals, but also with amateur athletes and people with severe tension.

During a sports massage training course, participants learn the individual massage techniques and familiarize themselves with the sequence of a massage on the back, arms and legs. The course also teaches about the various massage products and provides comprehensive specialist knowledge so that the prospective sports masseurs and masseuses always know how, when and for how long which muscles need to be massaged. The sports massage course also teaches palpation, i.e. feeling and examining muscles with the fingers. The massage course in the field of sport provides course participants with basic information on the various indications, contraindications and limitations of sports massage.

Would you like to compare the various sports massage training courses offered by massage schools in your area? The education portal Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch offers you the best way to do this. Here you can order comprehensive information documents directly from the individual schools free of charge and without obligation and benefit from numerous other services.

Questions and answers

The cost of sports massage training depends on the training provider and the scope of the course. Prospective sports massage therapists pay CHF 320 for the express sports massage course at the Swiss Sports Massage School, for example, and CHF 690 for the basic training (as of 2018).

Depending on the scope of the sports massage training course, there are different levels of depth. For example, a one-day course offers an introduction to the methodology and shows special massage techniques for loosening the muscles before and after sport. The benefits of sports massage as well as indications and contraindications are also explained. In a somewhat more comprehensive course, participants also learn about different massage products, learn a complete massage sequence on the back and legs, learn when which muscles are worked on and palpation, the palpatory examination.

Both one-day and multi-day sports massage training courses are offered in Switzerland, providing a brief insight or solid basic training.

Sports massage training is basically suitable for all interested people who want to use massage techniques in a targeted and professional manner to relieve hardening and tension in the muscles and fasciae and thus contribute to faster regeneration after sport.

Basic knowledge of classical massage or other massage techniques is certainly an advantage, but not essential for sports massage training at the Swiss Sports Massage School.
