Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Clinical Sports Therapy
Sports treatments vary greatly from sports massage routines to help prevent injuries, maintain suppleness and improve performance, to full treatments using electrotherapy. Sports Therapists are also involved in rehabilitating after injury, and in promoting fitness through exercise. A sports therapist is trained to assess common musculo-skeletal problems, and offer treatment for such conditions as whiplash, back pain, repetitive strain injury, frozen shoulder and carpal tunnel syndrome, amongst others. Our Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Clinical Sports Therapy course will provide you with all the skills required to work in the exciting and rewarding field of Sports Therapy. We train candidates in the safe use of electrotherapy equipment, which is now widely used in most professional clubs and clinics. This advanced level course also offers further training in vertebral mobilisations, kinesiology taping, interferential and microcurrent, and advanced trauma care, including the use of AED. As well as practical training, candidates are also required to undertake home study assignments.
