AiCM SPORTS MASSAGE TEAM FAQs
Who is the AiCM-Sports Massage Team (AiCM-SMT)?
Our team consists of professional, licensed massage therapists, many of whom are AMTA members. Our team members are trained in sports massage techniques.
What are the goals of the AiCM-SMT?
- to provide pre and post event massage to athletes of every level
- to become an integral part of the training regimen of elite athletes
- to use sporting events to inform the general public about the benefits of sports massage
- to provide advanced education to sports massage therapists
How are funds secured for the operation of MSMT?
We charge $15/15 minutes and $30/30 minutes for our services. However, the MSMT is a non-profit organization which relies on its involvement in local sporting events and on donations to fund its operations. Funds raised go to the operation of the team and are used to help inform the public of the benefits of sports massage and to help provide advanced education to our therapists.
What does AiCM-SMT do at the events?
We set up a work area, near the event site, where we will provide pre and post event massage to the athletes. The pre-event massage should occur 30–45 minutes before the start of the event. It is usually a fast paced full body massage, of a shorter duration. It is designed to stimulate your nervous and circulatory systems. The post-event massage should occur 30–90 minutes after the event. This is usually a slower paced full body massage that lasts 15 or 30 minutes. It is designed to sedate your nervous system and to help flush any toxins out of your system. Receiving this massage helps to decrease the severity of soreness felt over the next few days.
