Thanks for your replies physiobob and robsmith1234.

I was looking into doing a sports first aid course - I'm assuming that will cover most things I would need to know? Also, I don't have a massage qualification as such, but surely a rub down to warm up muscles would be ok to do anyway?

I was looking at the book on taping (the one physiobob suggested) and am considering buying it. I haven't had much experience with strapping so it will probably be of advantage. Is that the best book on taping though?
