Who is this course for?
This course is ideal for Therapists that already hold a Level 3 or Level 4 qualification in Sports Massage/Therapy.
We also take learners who have already studied at Level 5 where their course was focused predominantly on being a Soft Tissue Therapist.
What’s different?
This course is heavily focused on clinical skills. We expect you to already be a good hands on therapist from your Level 3/4 course, this enables us to shift the focus into good clinical assessment skills and early stage exercise prescription.
What’s next?
After completion of the Level 5 modules you can then choose your pathway - Exercise or Clinical.
The Exercise Pathway focuses on making you a fitness professional with the skills to be able to provide one to one and small group coaching as well as being able to write exercise programmes for your clients
The Clinical Pathway focuses on increasing your clinical skills with modules in ultrasound scanning, pharmacology (medication) and systemic pathology.
-
This Phase is the preparatory phase. You will learn about communication and note taking skills. You’ll be introduced to the BioPsychoSocial (BPS) model of health care and where Movement Therapists fit in to the model. You’ll also be introduced to the Tissue Healing process as this knowledge underpins the treatment interventions that you’ll be able to deliver as the course progresses.
Phase one doesn’t just finish at phase one - it underpins every other module and we will constantly be referring back to the concepts learnt in phase one throughout the entire course.
-
In this phase you will build on the knowledge gained in Phase one about how to conduct a thorough case history, the tissue healing process and the psychosocial aspects of pain and then add on clinical assessments, regional pathology and early stage exercise and manual therapy for each region of the body
-
In this phase you will build on your clinical skills from the previous two phases and start to look at how to analyse fitness levels and movement capacity so that you can start to provide exercises and advice beyond the basic early stage intervention
