The treatment of sports related problems has grown over recent years, due to the vast increase in leisure activities and the interest in sport and fitness. The demand for a therapist with a wide based knowledge will always find plenty of opportunities to find work. Sports treatments vary greatly from sports massage routines to help prevent injuries, maintain suppleness and improve performance, to full treatments using ulstrasound.
This course will provide you with all the skills required to work in the exciting and rewarding field of Sports Therapy. We train candidates in the safe use of ultrasound equipment, which is now widely used in most professional clubs and clinics. The treatment skills taught in this course also enables you to deal with many more common problems such as back pain and whiplash etc.
Students will be expected to complete 100 hours of case studies in their own time.
Continual assessments and short written tests are used throughout the whole of the course to ensure the student is progressing. There will be a final written test and practical assessment.
