Are you looking for a supplementary income whilst a student of Osteopathy, Physiotherapy or a similar discipline?

Come and train on our fast track BTEC Diploma in Sports Massage and Treatmentsfor Osteopathic/Physiotherapy students and qualify as a Sports Massage Therapist to obtain the ideal supplementary career. Sports Massage Therapists can earn £40-£60 per hour.

Established in 1992 and based in Central London, Essentials for Health has grown to become one of the most reputable and innovative independent schools of massage and sports massage in the U.K.

Don’t just take our word for it. Here is what Zoe Kenny had to say “as a recently qualified physiotherapist this sports massage course has helped build on and develop my massage skills which has proved invaluable in the outpatient department and particularly working with sports teams. The teaching has been lively and fun with plenty of practical experience and rehearsals of scenarios. It's very much taught from a physio perspective dealing specifically with identifying injuries and how different massage techniques can be used to improve these. The course has definitely increased my confidence in using a wider variety of deep tissue techniques, STR, NMET, MET and better understanding of the positive effects these can have. I'd thoroughly recommend this course if you're looking to expand your hands-on skills and get back to the basis that physiotherapy originally sprang from.”

Held in London (MaidaVale) during the summer holidays, this is an ideal opportunity for student physios and student osteopaths to qualify in sports massage.
