In this Sports Massage Course, Mike Everson, Manual Osteopath, Registered Massage Therapist and Yoga Teacher, will guide you through techniques for the entire body, displaying the power of muscle energy techniques.

Without a great set and variety of techniques it will be very hard to have a thriving massage practice. I truly believe that even in the social media age, success in massage is based on your hands on ability, knowledge, and the tools of the trade that you use. These are the techniques that I wish i knew at the beginning of my career distilled into a no-time wasted, practical, fun, and technique rich course.

In this massage course you are going to learn:

> Muscle Energy Techniques for the Entire Body

> An Effective Intelligent Treatment System

> Connective Tissue Techniques

> How to Work with Athletes

The most important aspect to any manual therapist is the quality of their treatments, because without the ability to deliver great services, most therapists will not succeed and be taken over by the competition in this competitive industry. After being in the industry for well over a decade I'm able to boil down what are practical and effective ways to treat the body so that you don't have to waste time. This course will be an essential part of your journey in massage therapy to becoming successful and well rounded therapist.
