I do not understand the difference with training in classical massage and a sports massage training?
Answer: A sports massage treatment is deeper, harder and more specific. Only one muscle or muscle group is treated with the aim of achieving a specific result. The pace is also significantly faster in a sports massage treatment. In comparison with a classic Swedish massage where you treat the whole body, at a slower pace with a medium hard pressure and where the main purpose is to have a relaxing effect.
Can I take this course with a friend?
Answer: Yes, you can be two students who complete this education without the need for more students. You decide for yourselves when you want to attend the course, the only requirement is that you are both 18 years of age and that both already have a diploma as a massage therapist.
Will I just give massage or will I also receive massages?
Answer: All our students will give and receive sports massage treatment equally during the course. During the course, our teachers go through part by part as well as grips and techniques twice, once when you get a massage and once when you give a massage to your classmate.
The course is short, will I be able to learn everything I need?
Answer: You will become a very good at sports massage during the course.
