Summary

This industry-accredited course is designed to give you the high-quality, profession-specific training needed to prevent, assess, diagnose and treat sport and physical activity-related injuries. The qualification focuses on developing practical skills while teaching how to use theory to underpin clinical reasoning. Putting theory into practice is a key focus so you develop your skills via case scenarios; at our on-site Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic and Community Exercise Clinic; and through a work-based placement with industry experts working with professional athletes, members of the public and clinical populations.
