  • enhance athletic performance
  • reduce the risk of re-injury

The Diploma in Remedial and Sports Massage course provides in-depth practical tuition in both Remedial and Sports massage by building on Swedish massage methods as well as introducing a wide range of highly effective techniques. These include:

  • advanced consultation skills and appropriate safety checks
  • assessment procedures to accurately identify conditions and injuries
  • myofascial, neuromuscular and muscle energy techniques (MET)
  • trigger point therapy
  • proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)

The treatment of many common disorders and injuries is covered along with a specific module dedicated specifically to Sports Event Massage - working with athletes in competition and training.

Further study in relevant Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology accompanies the extensive 'hands-on' sessions ensuring the student gains the necessary experience to practise successfully in both the remedial and sports fields.

Comprehensive course notes with detailed photographic instructions on practical techniques enhance the learning experience.
