OVERVIEW

Sports Massage - Hip to Toe is organized by Niel Asher Education.

Course Overview:
The hip plays a central role in lower-limb movement and force transfer. Restrictions or altered function around the hip may influence loading throughout the thigh, leg, ankle, and foot, contributing to recurring symptoms or reduced athletic performance.

This 5-hour CE/CPD course takes a connected approach to assessment and treatment. Stuart demonstrates methods for addressing hip restriction and then applies sports massage and rehabilitation principles to three common athletic presentations: shin splints, Achilles tendon pain, and plantar fasciitis.

The emphasis is on understanding relationships across the kinetic chain, selecting appropriate hands-on strategies, and integrating treatment with movement and recovery considerations.
