Building on prior massage study, the programme prepares students to deliver specialised remedial massage therapy for rehabilitation and pain relief due to injury or chronic conditions. Students gain advanced skills in assessment, pathology, and sport-specific techniques, and complete extensive clinical practice supervised in real-world settings. There is a strong focus on understanding medical diagnostic results and the psychology of health. The diploma opens pathways for work in health and wellness centres, sports medicine clinics, and in self-employed practice.
