The Sports Massage Association
Standards of training and practice within sports massage vary tremendously. If you choose a sports massage practitioner who is not suitably qualified your treatment could be ineffective and at worse it may cause injury. Under current law anyone is able to call themselves a sports massage practitioner or sports massage therapist. It is very important that any practitioner you choose is a member of The Sports Massage Association. They will have the letters MSMA after their name. They will have a membership card, certificate and valid insurance document to show you.
