What will I Learn on the sports massage course?
Massage and sports treatments:
Can anyone take the sports massage course?
Yes. If you have no previous massage qualifications, the course is 26 days usually over 13 weekends. Halfway through your course you will take the BTEC Diploma in Holistic Massage practical and theory examinations. This allows you to become qualified as an Holistic Massage Therapist, whilst still studying for your Sports Massage Diploma.
If you are already qualified as a massage therapist our sports massage courses are held over 7 weekends spread over 5 months or as a midweek fast track
"Through fantastic teachers who are so positive and supportive, Essentials for Health has always treated me as something more than just a number. This attention to detail is extended from everyone behind the scenes also. Although my course is finished, I continue to receive this strong encouragement and guidance and belief that anything is possible....and it really is. I wouldn't think twice about going back to Essentials for further study." Edel Casey Sports Massage 2007
