Sports massage appeared in earlier periods of history when the ancient Greeks and Romans combined massage and exercise in their athletic training.

With fitness in focus nowadays, enrolling in Bali BISA’s Sports Massage course will lead to a fulfilling career in the dynamic health, wellness and spa field.

It is not surprising that in a society where sports and fitness are integral elements of a contemporary lifestyle a sports massage certification would be in high demand by spas and wellness centres.  Athletes and people simply suffering from overworked muscles from daily activities increasingly turn to skilled sports massage practitioners who intimately understand how to alleviate the stress and tension stored in tissues via massage to the overall muscular–skeletal system and localized problem areas.  Regularly used, sports massage can also help prevent injuries.

A Sports Massage Therapist is a professional who uses massage techniques to treat and care for athletes who are suffering injuries or pain. They work with their clients on rehabilitation processes, aiming to reduce pain, inflammation, long-term impact, discomfort or the risk of injuries occurring again

Sports massage therapy is also known as athletic massage therapy or Sports Medicine Massage. It’s a type of therapy aimed at decreasing the tension and stress that can develop in the soft tissues of the body during sports and various exercises. Unlike some types of therapeutic massage that are performed after an activity, sports massage therapy is also performed before and during the training or activity.

Sports Massage Therapy can help reduce stress on the body. It can also improve athletic performance and increases endurance. Sports and massage therapy are very similar to deep tissue massage and therapeutic massage. A sports therapeutic massage focuses on the muscles and tissues within the body. It may cover the entire body or a specific part of the body.
