As member of the mo sports massage team the question of dealing with post event muscle cramps often comes up. Anyone have an effective protocol they would recommend. I find a lot of different ideas and conflicting information on the subject.

Thank you for the group........Sports therapists should consider SOLPOD for their sports massages. We have supplied our products to trainers for the ASP, ATP, NBA and MLB. Great product that is re-usable, non-toxic and provides instant heat anywhere anytime. Thank you for considering. We think you will be impressed with our product. We are now offering private label! advertise your business on solpod........bless day to all.

Depending on the event, many athletes will have their own iPod with them, so they can listen to what they want to. It can be a big ritual with pre-event massage!

That is interesting.. All the ones I have done there hasn't been anything but bull horns.. No P.A. systems at all

Hi Frank,
I don't bother anymore. There's usually loud music blasting over the P.A. system. And since I want to be in sight of the finish line at so people can see me, I'm close enough to the music that it drowns out whatever I bring along.

Do any of you guys that participate in event sports massage bring music with you?

Hi guys, I just finished a certification class last week in St. Petersburg, FL and now I'm trying to transitions into doing a little more Sports Massge after doing more Deep Tissue and Swedish. I still have some events to do to complete the certification, but I think this group will be very informative for me and my future in Sports Massage. If anyone has any advice on incorporating Sports Massage into my practice, it will be very helpful. Thanks!

Hi Earl, I have just read your article on pre-event massage and i must say i found it very informative. It reinforced a number of things i had been trying to work out in my own practice. thanks for the article!
