We’re pleased to announce that our next round of intakes for our Sports Massage Courses are now open for enrolment. If you’ve been thinking about training in sports massage, this is the moment to act, because places are already going and our courses consistently sell out.
Why Sports Massage Training Is Worth Your Time
Sports massage is one of the most sought-after specialisms in the therapy world. Whether you want to work with athletes, support injury rehabilitation, or add a highly valued skill to your existing practice, training in sports massage opens real doors. From clinics and gyms to sports teams and self-employment, the career options are wide-ranging and in genuine demand.
Which Course Is Right for You?
We offer a range of routes into sports massage, depending on where you’re starting from and where you want to go.
ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage
This is our flagship entry-level qualification and the ideal starting point if you’re new to sports massage. Delivered over eight weekends, it’s internationally recognised and provides the solid foundation you need to work professionally as a sports massage therapist.
BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Clinical Sports and Remedial Massage
For those ready to take their skills to an advanced level, this ten-month course covers sports injuries, remedial care, and clinical application. It includes the ITEC Level 3 Diploma, making it a comprehensive qualification for those committed to building a serious career in this field.
BTEC Level 5 Bridging Programme in Clinical Sports and Remedial Massage
Already qualified as a sports massage therapist at Level 3? This six-month programme is designed specifically for experienced therapists who want to progress to the Level 5 qualification without starting from scratch.
Sports Massage Conversion Course
If you hold a massage qualification in another discipline and want to convert or expand into sports massage, our conversion course provides a clear and structured pathway to an ITEC-accredited diploma.
Places Are Already Selling
This is not a formality. Our sports massage courses sell out, and new intakes are no exception. We keep class sizes deliberately small to ensure every student gets the hands-on time and personalised guidance they need, which means availability is genuinely limited.
If you’re ready to take the next step, we’d encourage you to browse current availability and secure your place now rather than risk missing out.
Training Backed by Over 37 Years of Experience
At The School of Natural Therapies, we’ve been delivering professional massage training since 1989. Our sports massage courses are accredited by ITEC and BTEC, ensuring your qualification is recognised by employers and professional associations alike. With hundreds of five-star reviews and a strong track record of student success, including outstanding ITEC results, you’ll be learning in an environment built around helping you succeed.
