Soccer Specifics: Injuries and Treatment is organized by Niel Asher Education.
Modern sports massage therapy requires more than chasing injuries around the body after they appear.
Soccer Specifics: Sports Massage Therapy helps therapists understand the physical demands of soccer, the movement patterns of players, and the soft tissue strategies that may help support performance and reduce injury risk.
Presented by Stuart Hinds, this course focuses on soccer-specific assessment, asymptomatic muscle imbalance, common injury patterns, soft tissue treatment protocols, and practical hands-on approaches adapted for soccer players.
Course Overview
This course teaches therapists to look beyond isolated symptoms and consider the wider demands of the game, including repeated acceleration, deceleration, kicking, sprinting, cutting, jumping, and directional change.
Participants will learn how to assess muscle imbalance, identify patterns that may increase injury risk, and apply treatment strategies designed to support both injury recovery and injury avoidance.
The course includes treatment protocols for common soccer-related injuries, together with soft tissue strategies designed to help promote resilience, movement quality, and performance readiness.
Supported by video instruction, a fully illustrated course book, companion course, lesson quizzes, online exam, certificate of completion, subtitles, and lifetime access, this course provides practical soccer-specific training for therapists working with athletes and active clients.
