Sports (see Ball)

1. If you are playing at a team sport, busy times working with other people lie ahead. Whether or not your team wins or loses indicates your level of success. Losing the game, however, does NOT mean failure. It only indicates delays.

2. If you are watching a team playing a team sport, you may feel isolated from the others around you—being on the “outside looking in.” Courage may be necessary for you to join with your community.

3. Participating in an individual event, such as in golf, tennis, swimming or track indicates a strong desire to improve yourself and your circumstances.

Team Sports

Team sports are prevalent in our world and seem to be increasing in popularity and diversity. Dreams of team sports include the dreamer as observer, player, or coach. Often, it's simply a wish-fulfilment fantasy of wanting to be a sports legend. However, it the coaches and other players seem very familiar to you, or are actually people from facets of your waking life, the dream has more to say.

Commonly, the dream is about participation and connectedness to the common goals held by others in your life. "Being a team player" is emphasised often in work and family these days.

Whichever of the three roles you most identify with determines your self-awareness within the team sport. Observing from the audience may indicate that you are feeling "off the team" or outside the action. Observing as a player who does not enter the game suggests that you feel others are ambivalent about your skills, or you yourself may be so.

Being a player shows your willingness to participate in the game. If you have too many roles on the team or do the work of several players, it may be that you are feeling that people expect too much from you.

Finally, being the coach is a position of leadership and control. In this case, determining how the team did is important to appreciating the message of this dream.

Sports massage

The prime purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension which builds up in the body's soft tissues during physical activity. Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively. Above all, it can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether one is an athlete, ardent keep-fitter or a once a week jogger.

This treatment is not just for the sports person: anyone can benefit from sports massage, including people in physically demanding jobs and those not quite so obvious (occupational, emotional and postural stress may produce many similar characteristics to sports injuries).

Sports massage tends to be deeper and more intense. It is based on the various elements of Swedish massage and often incorporates a combination of other techniques involving stretching, compression, friction, toning, and trigger point response techniques similar to Acupressure and Shiatsu. The skilled therapist brings together this blend of techniques, knowledge and advice during treatment, to work effectively with the client to bring about optimum performance and to provide injury-free training and minimise post event injuries.

RUSSIAN MASSAGE (RUSSIAN SPORTS MASSAGE)

This technique alters the basic strokes of classical massage so each stroke provides the client with the least invasive and most comfortable treatment.

Each stroke in Russian massage has a known physiological effect on a healthy or dysfunctional body. Therapists don’t use their wrists or single digit pressure, instead opting for shoulders or elbows as the primary sources of strength for deep work.
