    Re: what do you use for massage?

    Laura01,

    At our clinic and football club we tend to use sorbaline (which is water soluable) and easy to use as it absorbs into the skin. Looks after you and your patients clothes. The technique that you are doing is more inprotant.

    Enjoy

    Taping
    grape seed oil! It's really cheap and works really well

    or you could go for the more pricey physio type massage oils- I like the physio sport oil but its not so easy to get these days
