WHAT DO I NEED TO LOOK FOR WHEN HIRING A SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPIST?

With so many massage variations and services operating all over the country it can be a daunting task to find a specific sports massage therapist that is the right fit for you.

​

Despite the majority of massage therapists having similar qualifications and knowledge, the underlying factors that can separate sports massage therapists from one another and their services can include;

​

• Sports and activity specific knowledge

• Specific qualifications/degrees

• Level of firmness and technique to suit your needs

• Working environment 

• Punctuality and communication

• Quality of services offered

• Adaptability

• Professional conduct

• Insurance and liability cover

• Pre-treatment consultations

• Post-treatment care plans

 

So, before enrolling with the first sports massage therapist which appears on your search engine, make sure they are able to help you achieve your recovery goals and match your expectations with firmness and technique. But most importantly, make sure they are the right fit for you and your circumstances.
