At the moment this course is not recognised by any official recognition board or body, neither is it towards any particular qualification or registration. Studying this course would be for your own benefit.

This sports massage course, though at a basic level is in depth, and covers anatomy, functional testing and orthopaedic test for muscles, as well as the appropriate sports massage routines. It is a 12 week course, after which students would be required to sit a written exam and do a practical exam as well as 20 practical case studies in order to get the certificate at the end.
