BTST Academy
Who are BTST…
BTST comprises of two sides, a working multidisciplinary clinic and a Manual Therapy academy / learning provider located in the beautiful location of Edwinstowe, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.
BTST is a family run business, owned and managed by Becky Tyler. Founded in 2010, BTST has gone from strength to strength, offering a wide range of health treatments and high quality manual therapy training courses.
BTST Academy is dedicated in providing some of the very best teaching, truly supporting current and new therapists in their lifetime of study.
“Being a therapist is one of the best vocations you could have, I say vocation because it’s more than a job! Working with people to help them become pain free and live their best life, is one of the best feelings. Not everyone can say they love their job, so I feel blessed in being able to truly say, I love my job!!
Working with people however, as a manual therapist means you will always be in education as the body is so complex! Anatomy and physiology is one of the most fascinating and frustrating systems, that will surprise you daily, which is another reason why I love it so, No two days or patients are ever the same!
Therefore being able to support therapists in their journey is a privilege!”

BTST Tutor & Assessor
Clare Sargent
Having a passion for the workings of the human body, health and fitness I have built up my knowledge and expertise since I was 19, learning both massaging techniques and becoming a qualified personal trainer.
After living abroad for a few years I decided to get back in the massaging business and undertook my Level 3 Sports Massage qualification at our very own BTST Academy with Becky Tyler. I loved it so much I went on to do the Level 4, and now assess our new students that come through the academy to complete their Level 3 qualification.
As well as massaging I offer Personal Training and teach some of the amazing classes here at BTST. Health and fitness is my passion, having completed marathons, half marathons and triathlons, so I practice what I preach!
But for me its all about getting that work-life balance right, and making sure I enjoy plenty of holidays, time with family and friends and ensure I’m looking after myself with regular massage treatments and eating right (well most of the time!).
