A practical course for anyone interested in how sports massage can benefit a range of clients, both physically and psychologically. You must have an interest in sport and a knowledge of anatomy and physiology would be an advantage; however, no previous massage qualifications or experiences are needed.
Each three-hour session covers the theory of massage techniques and anatomy taught in an interesting and hands-on way, giving the learner the necessary understanding for working on the human body.
Sports massage is not just for the athlete, so if you are wanting to learn deep tissue techniques to help improve a client’s flexibility, help with postural imbalance or work-related aches and pains, this course is perfect for you.
Our industry-standard facilities and close working relationship with Loughborough University provides plenty of excellent opportunities in terms of potential clients. Previous students have had the opportunity to work with Olympic and Paralympic athletes, elite clubs, and professional sports people.
Our uniform is a College polo shirt (£25), black tracksuit bottoms, and trainers.
This course may be eligible for the new Advanced Learner Loan.
