- Overview
-
Sports Therapy is becoming increasingly popular and this programme integrates academic learning and the development of practical skills to an advanced level. There is a strong emphasis on practical experience and a range of activities that encourage an understanding of well-established principles.
The focus of sports therapy is on the inception of an injury through to rehabilitation, with underpinning knowledge of applied scientific aspects such as anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. This programme is accredited by the Sports Therapy Organisation (STO) which will entitle you to apply for membership during and after your studies. The programme is also validated and awarded by the University of Plymouth.
You will learn through lectures, seminars, practical sessions, lab sessions and group work. The majority of the programme is assessed through practical exams, written reports, presentations, practical sessions, case studies and seminars. There are some timed assessments and examinations. There will be the opportunity to take part in an Emergency Trauma Management First Aid course and the Strength and Conditioning module mirrors the UKSCA and therefore following completion of the programme, you can apply for UKSCA accreditation (after taking an exam).
We also offer sports therapy and massage treatments.
