Hone your existing massage skills, and become a recognised sports massage therapist!

Our Level 4 Sports Massage course enable you to learn how to treat conditions resulting in soft-tissue dysfunction, ease muscular tension and treat minor injuries sustained by physical activity. This qualification is fully endorsed and supported by The General Council for Massage Therapy (GCMT) and has been developed in association with The Association for Soft Tissue Therapists (SMA). In addition, it is aligned to the health practitioner membership requirements of Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and will enable learners to meet entry for SMA membership as a sports massage therapist.

This course will teach you how to use clinical assessment methods to assess injuries and dysfunction and strategically plan recovery via therapeutic modalities used to treat soft-tissue dysfunction. Once you have successfully developed your assessment skills, you will learn advanced sports massage techniques that can then be used to effectively treat and manage injuries and soft-tissue dysfunction. Modules you will study include:

Clinical assessment methods and strategic planning.
Therapeutic modalities in the treatment of soft tissue dysfunction
Providing post treatment care
Anatomy and aetiology of soft tissue dysfunction
