Introduction
In more and more places in the Netherlands one can go for a “sports massage”. When being a sport masseur you can start your own practice and become (partial) financial independent. It is also possible to work as a massage therapist at a sports club, a physiotherapist practice, a fitness center, a wellness center, spa, recreation resorts and swim centers. In short: everywhere (sports) massage and care are appreciated and valued.
It is hard to imagine a world of sports without a sports masseur. More and more sport clubs, at both recreational and professional level, will hire a sports masseur. They see the benefit of a good masseur, who will work together with the athletes to prevent injuries. Also since the rise of endurance sports as the marathon and triathlon, the individual athlete is looking for a sports masseur to advise them about training, clothing, nutrition and to provide a massage after a training and/or race. Slowly, an awareness is growing with athletes about taking care of their own health.
So it makes sense that there is more demand for trained masseurs to fulfill this task.
