Introduction

Bridging Programme – for those with previous sports massage qualifications/experience

Students who have a level 3 or 4 qualification in Sports Massage or Sports therapy may apply to undertake the school’s bridging programme assessment. The purpose of the assessment is to see if there is any further training you may need in order to reach the level necessary to successfully complete the ISRM/BTEC examinations. It is therefore not a pass or fail situation and we do not ask you to attempt any written question or practical subject area that you do not feel confident in.

 

The assessment has theory and practical elements to it and is held over one day and during the assessment you will be asked to:-

Practical

• Demonstrate a range of Muscle Energy Techniques and your knowledge of how they work.
• Demonstrate Soft Tissue Release (STR) using active and passive methods on any of the main muscles or muscle groups
• Demonstrate Joint Assessments and their range of active and passive movements and demonstrate how you would treat those specific areas.

Theory

Therapists with ITEC, VTCT or Premier Level 3 or 4 qualifications will need to have a minimum of 2 years clinical experience since qualification and have completed additional CPD training to be eligible for the Bridging Programme.
