Course summary
For any athlete, injuries happen. Be the one they turn to, with the specialist knowledge and skills to manage their rehabilitation and drive their recovery to peak performance. This degree programme offers the opportunity to learn both the theory of sport therapy and the hands-on skills of making it happen. It’s your chance to get to grips with the expertise vital for caring, managing and rehabilitating sportspeople – whether professional and amateur – back to full fitness. You’ll learn how to assist athletes with comprehensive injury assessments and sports-specific rehabilitation programmes, involving exercise, soft tissue mobilisations and manual therapy. As such, you’ll cover areas of physiology, psychology, pathology and exercise rehabilitation. Underpinning principles of sports science and strength and conditioning are embedded in the degree with a key focus on functional rehabilitation and contemporary approaches in sports injury management replicating industry specific skills and demands. There’s a real emphasis on manual therapy, soft tissue therapy and sports specific exercise as key therapeutic approaches – skills you can’t always develop in the classroom. You’ll find a big practical element to your studies. You’ll not only work in our own sporting facilities, but also experience clinical practice in live, real-world environments – with a huge range of over 120 placements in the north west, including professional and amateur sports clubs.
