Sports massage (August.2024)

The aim of the practical course is to acquaint participants with the basics of sports massage and its application to various parts of the body. Basic massage sets will be supplemented with emergency massage and psychomotor massages. Sports massage is a rehabilitative procedure used to support health in biological, psychological, and social contexts. It involves applying specific massage techniques to the muscles of the limbs and trunk, primarily in healthy individuals, for the purpose of reconditioning and regeneration. The seminar will also offer introductory theoretical information, but the focus is on practical mediation.

Participants should note that the course is not concluded with a final exam for professional qualifications and completion does not guarantee the right to obtain a business license. Graduates will receive a "Certificate of Completion of the Lifelong Education Program conducted by FTVS UK under the name 'Sports Massage'."

We recommend familiarizing yourself in advance with the conditions for obtaining a business license (trade license, ŽL) in the field of Massage, Conditioning, and Regeneration Services according to Act No. 455/1991 Coll., on business licensing (the Trade Licensing Act).
