Massage Schools in Oregon - Massage School Review

Although the name 'sports massage therapy' suggests that it is only suitable for athletes and dancers, Wrio Russell, a qualified massage therapist and founder director of the London School of Sports Massage, dispels this myth and shows how it is also a therapy for 'ordinary' people.

Sports massage therapy is not only a post-trauma treatment, it can be used preventatively to keep the soft tissue in a healthy state and pick up any micro-traumas before they become more serious and inhibiting. It is also able to break down post-operative scar tissue and release incorrect postural holding patterns due to increased muscle tension.
