Sports and Exercise Therapists maximize peoples’ physical potential in performance, sports and life.

Accredited by the Society of Sports Therapists (SST), this course aims to examine the musculoskeletal system, exercise physiology, treatment and rehabilitation skills with an emphasis on performance underpinned by sports science principles. On successful completion, students should be eligible for full SST membership (additional costs may apply) allowing them to practice as a Sports Therapist in a wide variety of settings.

With access to a dedicated Sports Therapy Clinic, students will be taught in fully-equipped sports therapy suites, and physiology and biomechanics labs, which feature gold-standard equipment such as Alter G treadmill, Isokinetic Dynamometry, bod-pod and Vicon 3D motion analysis. The department currently has close relationships with a number of local sports clubs and clinics to facilitate hands-on experience, which has previously included Coventry City, Southampton FC, Leicester Lions RFC, Bury FC and Wasps.
