What does the course include?
The course covers all aspects of the National Occupational Standards for Sports Massage
at Level 3.
The course covers additional content about Pain science and the BioPsychoSocial (BPS) model of pain and content recommended by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP). This is not part of the National Standards but we feel is essential knowledge for all new sports massage therapists.
"Movement Therapy Education is one of the best education providers I have ever come across (and I’ve been with many over the years!)"​
Who is Sports massage for?
Anyone! Sports Massage doesn't have to mean heavy pressure (especially when someone can't tolerate heavy pressure) There are loads of things (which we'll teach you) that you can do so you can adapt your soft tissue techniques for all types of client.
What does Sports Massage do?
Thoughts about this have changed over the years. We now understand that the effects of sports massage are largely due to neurological responses to touch (Rather than stretching fascia/muscles)
Are sports massages painful?
They don't have to be! Everyone will have their preferred level of pressure and we will teach you techniques so that you can deliver all different styles of treatment
