Elite Sports Therapy - Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation and Performance Enhancement

 

This unique course takes you far beyond the traditional event sports massage training. We will be looking at on site sporting event work, injury prevention, injury rehabilitation, and performance enhancement techniques. Olympic and professional athletes realize the benefits of elite sports therapy to fit their specific needs. How do you customize your techniques to compliment the work of the athletic trainer, sport medicine physician, physiotherapist, or chiropractor? Are you familiar with the biomechanics and common injuries of the various athletes? What about proper muscle firing patterns for optimal performance? You will know which techniques can have a negative effect on performance, if applied too close to competition. You will analyze movements of multiple sports and eliminate overactive and underactive muscle activity to prevent sports injuries and enhance performance potential. This incredible course will set your work apart from the average sports massage therapist, and could pave the way to working at international sporting events, or securing a career with your favorite professional sports team. Therapists will also look at spinal biomechanics and learn our amazing joint capsule work for hips and shoulders. The highlight of this class will be teaching our top 2-3 emergency go to techniques for each body area, that take less than 5 minutes, to eliminate the primary cause of musculoskeletal pain in any part of the body.

Informing Touch,
a Trager® Immersion

with Roger Hughes

 

IN PERSON

 

August 3-4, 2024

9am to 6pm

 

16 CE hrs $385

 

Roger Hughes graduated from the Chicago School of Massage Therapy in 1995. In 1999 he attended an Introductory workshop in the Trager Approach and never looked back! He has been certified as a Trager Practitioner since 2002 and an instructor since 2018. Roger has been a visiting Trager Instructor at the Potomac Massage Training Institute in Silver Spring, Maryland since 2018. Roger brings his sense of humor, passion, and infectious curiosity to guide participants into natural and pleasurable movement and a feeling of agelessness. For more information about the Trager Approach® visit www.tragerus.org or visit Roger: www.rogerhugheslmt.com

 

In this 2-day immersion of the Trager Approach you will learn how informed touch delivers benefits to both you and your client. Class time will encompass Trager  practices in touch and movement for Self, and how these experiential exercises fluidly translate into meaningful collaboration with partner in-the-round and at the table. Structured demonstrations, group discussions and shared feedback will facilitate a fun and fruitful learning atmosphere.

We will explore how simple practices in movement, self-touch and pausing nourish sensation and mindfully bring us back to the present moment, the only moment in which we feel. The presence we embody and share is perhaps the underlying principle in effectively establishing a two-way kinesthetic dialogue with our client. A radical departure from the conventional ‘fix-it’ model, or the practitioner knows best view. We will use touch to meet our partner, and for the purpose of our partner to meet themselves. From standing, sitting and at the table, Roger will demonstrate and guide participants through different areas of the body with moving touch called sculpting. When we touch with ‘empty hands’ or with ‘listening hands’, we open the possibility for the client to view things from the inside. Weighing is a deceptively simple form of touch and movement that lightens common areas of heaviness and gives way to a lighter feeling. With the effects of gravity and its rebounding forces, attendees will have both practical and experiential opportunities in freeing up, restoring and enlivening areas of the body that tend to shelter more than their share of tension!

Wear comfortable easy-to-move-in clothing, no thick or embroidered fabrics. Bring 1 bed pillow, a large towel/ blanket, bottom/fitted sheet for massage table. Please refrain from wearing cologne, perfume or essential oil, and that necklaces are removable.
