  • Sports massage therapy and Sports therapy are two distinct disciplines within the field of sports medicine. 

    Sports Massage Therapy 

    Sports massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that targets soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. This therapy aims to alleviate pain, reduce tension, and improve flexibility. It can also enhance performance and aid in injury recovery. Sports massage can be administered before or after engaging in physical activity. 

    Sports Therapy 

    Sports therapy, on the other hand, is a form of physical therapy that focuses on injury prevention and helping patients regain functionality following an injury. Sports therapists utilize various techniques, including sports massage, to address and prevent injuries. They may also employ taping, electrotherapy, cryotherapy, ultrasound, and personalized rehabilitation. Sports therapists possess expertise in musculoskeletal disorders and injuries and can treat a wide range of injuries, including those resulting from sports, work, and everyday activities. This course can help you get into the industry and then train to become a SportsTherapist BSC.
