Sports massage
The name sports massage is used when combining several
procedures. Sport masseurs can treat sportsmen to let them
achieve better results, or to help them with revalidation after an
injury for complete sport resumption. The sport masseur is
competent for giving first aid at sport injuries, doing body-function-
research of muscles and joints and give advise if a sportsman is
ready to resume activity after a sport-free periode or injury. The sport
masseur can give recommendations concerning training, food
consuption, drinking, warming-up and cooling-down, the use of
tape or other habits, based on its research. Applying tape to
sportsmen prior to participation of a sport event, is mostly also
carried out by the sport masseur. Generally the tape constructions
are applied to give support to muscles and tendens after an injury.
