What makes our Dorset Sports Massage course Unique?
Our goal is to provide you with more than just a Sports Massage Certificate. There are a number of cheaper, shorter Sports Massage Courses available that simply provide a certificate. This may suit some peoples requirements, however our course is for those looking to achieve high quality Sports Massage standards and wanting to be a Sports Massage Therapist that stands out from the rest of the competition out there.
This course is backed by the latest research (see our blog: What is up to date in New Sports Massage Courses) and teaches essential skills that helps you stand out as Sports Massage Therapist. Much of our course content is usually reserved for level 4 and Level 5 Sports Massage Courses. Typically Level 3 Sports Massage Courses only teach: Anatomy, principles of health & fitness, soft tissue dysfunction, professional practice and basic Sports Massage treatment – often two days per subject. If you have a fitness qualification you have probably already covered this already.
