Why become a sports massage therapist?

The health and fitness industry is estimated to be worth around £5bn in the UK and is growing every year. As more people participate in sports and fitness activities, the need for qualified sports massage therapists has also grown and the skill is now highly in demand. Clients vary from occasional gym-goers through to elite athletes, with therapists working as much to prevent injury as well as to treat them.

The qualifications you need to become a sports massage therapist:

Qualified sports massage therapists will have a relevant diploma at level 3 or 4, and ongoing professional development (CPD) is essential to keep developing and growing in your field. Alongside formal qualifications, successful practitioners need to have great communication skills, to enjoy working with people and to be adept at helping people to feel comfortable even when they are experiencing stress, discomfort or more acute pain.
