Remedial Sports Massage

Highly advanced massage skills aimed at correction and prevention in the musculature.

Must have Swedish massage.















​Remedial Sports massage (advanced massage) is the last massage phase before physiotherapy. It is a group of scientifically proven, physiologically rehabilitative movements that can be implemented into any massage sequence to treat minor soft tissue (muscle) injuries. It is recommended for athletes, competitors and people in the fine arts.

These highly specialised techniques require great skill and knowledge to perform. They are brilliant for athletes as they eliminate problems in the muscular system. More importantly, they prevent injury and enhance their sports performance. The techniques are not exclusively for athletes; they can be used on anyone.


The essence of sports massage is to correct postural imbalances, ensure correct muscle function, formulate treatment plans unique to the individual client and prevent possible future injuries or problems.
This massage discipline is perfect for you if you are more than the average spa therapist and want to achieve real results for your clients. It is a must if you deal with athletes, gym and fitness fanatics, gymnasts, professional dancers, high-tension clients, and clients with muscular concerns that tend to return.


At Balancingtouch, our emphasis is on the techniques. Each week, we master these powerful techniques in a way that is easy to understand and follow and that you will never forget. To get the most out of these techniques, Balancingtouch will teach you deep tissue (focusing on the fascial system), where you can use these specialised techniques masterfully on every muscle of the body correctly.

“I studied Sports massage with my sports sciences degree, and I can honestly tell you that this course has given me more skill and knowledge in one class with Balancingtouch compared to what I learned in my course at university.”  

“ I had just completed an Advanced Sports massage course at another school in Joburg, but I struggled and found the treatment procedure I learned there was ineffective and not worth my time or money. I chose to re-do sports massage at Balancingtouch, and I must say that this is what I expected to learn the first time. My clients are happier, and the results are phenomenal. I didn't realise how effective Remedial Sports massage could be, and I am so glad I did this. wish I knew about you guys sooner!”


“What I loved most about this course at Balancingtouch was the guidance and support I got from the lecture. There was a lot of information that I thought I wouldn’t cope with, but it all came together, and now I know I can help my client. Thank you, Balancingtouch.”
