Diploma in Sports Massage and Remedial Bodywork

Over the years Sports Therapy has progressed from just treating 'injured athletes', to dealing with many common muscular complaints such as back pain, mobility problems, postural problems and work related conditions.

Sports Therapy has become widely used in the corporate world, as a way for companies to assess and treat many work related problems such as back pain and what is commonly known as 'repetitive strain injury'.

With the Olympics just around the corner there has never been a better time to qualify to work in such a rewarding profession.

The Paragon College offers a 1 year Diploma in Sports Massage and Remedial Bodywork which can then enable you to continue onto the Advanced Diploma in Clinicals Sports Therapy.

Our one and two year diplomas provide you with everything you need to practice as a qualified Sports Masseur or as a practitioner of Sports Therapy.

Sports masseurs use massage techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Massage can improve flexibility, but one of the main benefits to runners for example is simply relaxation.
A qualified Sports Therapist advises on prevention of injuries and can help manage those that do occur using rehabilitation methods.
