The use of massage in sport has become widespread, not only to treat injuries, but also to increase muscle fitness, strength and flexibility. In this handbook, physiotherapist Joan Watt addresses the rules of massage and its techniques. She covers sports massage - including techniques, contact materials, methods of application, duration, and contra-indications - and also covers ice massage, aromatherapy and reflexology as additions to the masseur's skills. The final chapter provides a ready reference on anatomy and physiology.
