Description

Level 5 Sports Massage Therapy, Ashford, Kent

 

At level 5 a sports massage therapist’s role includes planning, providing, and evaluating sports massage treatments. Sports massage can be used before, after, during, or after an injury for preventative, therapeutic, restorative, or corrective purposes, focusing on neurological and ligamentous pathology. It can be done using a variety of complex assessment techniques, complex massage techniques, and peripheral joint manipulations.

Unlike previous courses, we provide a reading list, not one specific course manual, as we expect you to read around the subject and bring information to the course, not just take it away. This helps you grow further as a therapist after the course has finished. We provide guidance, and sessions cover the principles of topics, yet the importance of research should always be there.

A comprehensive reading list will be provided so you can make a start on the preparatory work to ensure your anatomy understanding is ready for the workshops. We will provide kits (taping and strapping) so you can practice the different techniques before the specific workshop. We do have high expectations for the anatomy knowledge, so you can get the most from the time in the workshops. You will need to be organised and motivated to get the most out of this course.

The scope of practice includes working on dysfunctional tissue, recent non-acute injuries, and pre-existing conditions.

Learners will cover:

Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, and Functional Anatomy
Complex Massage and Therapy Techniques for Sports
Complex Assessment Methods in Therapy and Massage for Sports
Posture, Core Stability, Gait Analysis, and Biomechanics
Ultrasound and Other Electrotherapy Modalities
Taping and Strapping in a Sports and Exercise Context
Recognise and respond to injury and illness in sport
