Sports Massage has been scientifically proven to help in the treatment and prevention of injuries, aid in pain relief, inflammation, and tissue dysfunction, and will help promote recovery and improve sports performance. Sports Massage isn't solely for athletes or sportspeople, it can be used for everyone, it can help with circulation, and has also been proven to help in the relief of stress and anxiety.

Along with a portfolio assessment, there are two options for the practical training and assessment days. We have regular in-person training and assessment days, but due to the lockdown students have the choice of using our live Zoom training and assessment days, given over 2 days, via Zoom, training on one day with the practical assessment the following day, so students can be confident in knowing they can complete their training and assessments from the safety of their own home. This option is also cheaper than the regular option.
