Career programme
Sports Massage Therapy
You learn to work with active bodies: warm-up, recovery, tightness, and when to stop and refer. Assessed on a live practical, not a poster of muscles.
Curriculum
Module 1: The sporting body
Joints, common tightness, and how to take a brief without diagnosing injury.
Module 2: Event work
Short pre-event and post-event sequences, timing, and working in a noisy venue.
Module 3: Maintenance
Deeper table work for training weeks, with caution around inflammation and pain.
Module 4: Practical & limits
A live practical plus a spoken brief: what you did, what you did not do, and when you would refer.
Who this is for
Foundation or professional massage graduates, gym and club staff, and people who want a first role in sports recovery — not a medical qualification.
What you should leave with
- Deliver a 30-minute pre-event and a 60-minute recovery session
- Choose pressure that fits the athlete’s next session
- Speak in recovery language, not medical claims
How you are assessed
You are assessed on a live practical: a complete, timed treatment, look, class or consult, with hygiene, briefing and aftercare. The certificate is issued only if you pass. It records the Anora programme you completed. It is not a government licence.
What the fee covers
- Trainer-led, offline teaching for the listed duration
- Supervised practice on classmates and live models
- A live practical assessment
- An Anora certificate with a public ID if you pass
Uniform, kit and station details, plus any instalment plan, are confirmed after a seat is offered. Travel, stay, meals and a job are not included.
