Which services are provided within WRA and what are the costs

*Sports massage: 2x a week in sessions of 30 minutes. The physiotherapist determines the need of treatment in consultation with the athlete. The athlete is within 10 minutes traveling, car-distance, from the practitioner. At greater distances the athlete has already made an agreement with the practitioner, at least 7 days before the appointment. In cases of emergency things could be adjusted in communal consultation.

** Advice is common knowledge of PT or trainer without examination or consultation.

*** if the athlete has a trainer my advise will be found on the actual training schedule and interpretation of the trainer. I would like to discus my advise with the trainer and the athlete. For I’m not an official athletics trainer my advice will be with mutual approval of the athlete and the trainer.
