Abstract
Objective: To pilot a community-based and owned sports massage course for Aboriginal health workers (AHWs).
Design: Descriptive, pilot educational intervention study.
Setting: Rural, Indigenous Australian community.
Subjects: AHWs working in a rural community.
Main outcome measures: Cultural and logistical acceptability of the program to AHWs.
Results: The course was delivered within a culturally acceptable framework with applicability for the evaluation of sports massage skills and knowledge changes in a larger sample.
Conclusion: The sports massage course demonstrated its applicability in this rural Aboriginal community and it has the potential to be adapted and adopted in other similar settings.
