Sports Therapy & Massage

Sports Therapy is the profession which focuses on the treatment and prevention of sports, recreational and musculoskeletal injuries.

Using a number of modalities, a sports therapist is able to examine and assess injuries, treat accordingly and implement an appropriate rehabilitation plan to get you injury- and pain-free.

Some techniques a sports therapist may use to treat and rehabilitate injuries include:

• Sports, Deep Tissue and Remedial Massage
• Spinal and Peripheral Joint Mobilisations
• Exercise Prescription and Rehabilitation
• Flexibility and Mobility Techniques
• Strapping and Taping
• Other Treatment Modalities as qualified e.g. Medical Acupuncture or Instrument Assisted Therapy

Therapists are required to keep confidential records of client notes as a requirement of good and safe practice, as required by the Society of Sports Therapists, the official governing body for practising Sports Therapists in the UK.
