Sports Training involves assisting sporting teams or individuals prepare for a game, an event or a whole season. Ultimately the Sports Trainer is responsible for the health and well being of their player or team.
Sports Trainers are not only the people who assist the players with their pre-game preparation which may include warmup, stretching, massage and taping, but who also provide first aid, injury advice and management. They may also offer advice on training schedules, event preparation, treatment plans, nutrition, hydration, health and safety concerns, infection control, stretching, mental preparation and recovery techniques.
At Therapy Masters both Gill Staples and Lisa Allmey-LaMaitre are qualified Sports Trainers.
Lisa has been a Sports Trainer for nine years and has worked extensively with the sport of Gridiron (American football). Being both a Sports Trainer and Massage Therapist and having studied psychology at University has enabled Lisa to provide a unique level of service to her players, teams and coaching staff. She aims to educate, improve and assist all aspects of a player's performance to see them achieve their desired goals.
