Sport Therapy – Extend Option

Sports Therapy and Physiotherapy have always been a highly sought-after career route; however, it has always been notoriously difficult to get any kind of meaningful work experience to consolidate further interest, and support university applications due to client confidentiality and obligations held by therapists in this profession. This ‘Extend pathway’ is the ideal opportunity to get a highly unique experience in this field.

There will be a strong emphasis on practical massage techniques, where you will be learning the art of sports massage. This is a vital part of being a sports therapist or physiotherapist. You will also learn the background principles to sports rehabilitation, taping and sports injury management. With this extend course, you must have a real passion for Sports therapy and physiotherapy being prepared to treat your fellow students. You will be expected to keep up to date with your notes, your competence will be assessed throughout the whole course by our own trained sports therapists.

Completion of this pathway will enable you to talk openly about your knowledge and understanding, thus giving depth to an application to study at a higher education level. This is also something that you could continue studying here at Exeter College as we have a very successful Foundation Degree (FdSc) and Bachelor of Science degree (BSc) in Sports Therapy. It is also an extremely useful experience that can be added to University application forms increasing your chances of being accepted for your chosen course.
