Sports Massage
 All
athletes look for an edge that can help them train more effectively, perform
better or overcome injuries quickly. The last several decades have witnessed
a dramatic rise in the level of athletic performance. Advances in training
and conditioning techniques are allowing the human body to become a finely
tuned machine. The limits of speed, endurance and strength are pushed
every day and each year brings new world records.
The leap in performance can be attributed to any number of key factors:
- improved equipment;
- enhanced understanding of how nutrition fuels the body;
- enlightened attitudes about psychological aspects of competition;
- scientific advances in the study of body structure and function.
The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) has been an active participant
in the formulation of new performance enhancement techniques. The growing awareness and inclusion of sports massage therapy has become a key component
of the high performance mix — as much a part of an athlete’s
training or quest for
performance enhancement as a carefully monitored
diet.
AMTA members are an integral part of the new athletic regimen —
from sports medicine clinics, to college training rooms, to professional
locker rooms, AMTA members are helping athletes work their way to even
greater success.
