Sports Massage Team Director
Maureen Moon, (303) 443-8213, MaureenMoon@comcast.net
The Event Sports Massage Team (ESMT) is sponsored by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). Our purpose is to create an educational forum on sports massage for our members, athletes, other health professionals, and for people who are concerned about health and physical fitness. We do this by providing sports massage at athletic events throughout Colorado and creating opportunities for continuing education and professional networking. By setting standards of excellence in the theory and practice of sports massage, we are offering services that substantially benefit our clients while promoting the profession of massage.
