One Sports Massage Career. Unlimited Possibilities.
Whether you're planning on working on a self-employed basis for a health club or sports team, there's never a shortage of opportunities for skilled massage therapists.
Level 3 Sports Massage Course
Discover proven and effective massage therapy skills and techniques and learn how to treat injuries, promote recovery and improve performance with our Level Diploma in Sports Massage course.
Overview
The role of a sports massage therapist is an all-encompassing one and can be as much about preventing injuries as it is about treating them. Aside from being hands on with the therapy, you’ll need to screen and assess clients, aid recovery and support clients with the emotional side of injury and pain.
Sports massage isn’t solely reserved for elite athletes and sportspeople, although it can be incredibly effective for these groups. The massage techniques taught on this course can be adapted for everyone, from occasional gym goers to office workers.
Whether you want to work in a health club, physiotherapy clinic, spa, cruise ship, or at sporting events, you’ll have no shortage of opportunities once you are qualified. Many of our graduates have also gone on to start their own massage businesses, opening their own clinics, working from home, and even treating clients in their own home on a mobile basis. You really can take this qualification anywhere.
