Description
Level 3 & 4 Combined Sports Massage Course
Become a fully qualified Sports Massage Therapist – all in one course!
Our Level 3 & 4 Combined Sports Massage Diploma at Kent Sports Academy offers the ideal route to launch your massage career with confidence. This hands-on course gives you the knowledge, skills, and real-world experience to treat clients both in and outside the sporting environment.
Why Combine Level 3 & 4?
Combining both levels means fewer students, more tutor time, and faster progression. Instead of returning later to upgrade to Level 4, you’ll gain both qualifications in one smooth, high-quality learning experience.
Level 3 focuses on massage techniques for healthy individuals. Level 4 builds on this and teaches you to assess, treat, and manage common injuries and dysfunctions. This leads to more confidence, better results, and a stronger business offering.
Expert Tutors with Real Experience
You’ll be taught by experienced tutors like Andy Davis, who brings 20 years of hands-on sports therapy and clinic expertise, including work with rugby clubs and university-level teaching. Mark, a seasoned therapist and educator, also brings practical knowledge from his clinic and university work.
Together, they ensure you’re well prepared—whether you’re starting from scratch or expanding your current career.
Real-Life Practice from Day One
During the course, you’ll treat real clients and apply what you learn in practical workshops. This gives you the confidence to start working immediately after qualifying. Students also benefit from several free massages during the course—so you learn by receiving as well as giving.
