You'll develop your knowledge of anatomy and physiology, learn professional sports massage techniques and develop the skills required to assess clients, plan appropriate treatments and provide sports massage for clients without acute injuries.
Whether you're starting a new career, already working within fitness or want to progress from massage into sports massage therapy, this qualification provides a strong professional foundation, with the opportunity to progress to Level 4 Sports Massage Therapy afterwards.
