Nutrition
Practical fuelling for people who train, recover or simply want meals that match the week. Pairs naturally with the clinic’s nutritional analysis.
Courses and workshops
Learn the work, from first techniques to specialist skills
Active IQ sports massage diplomas, plus shorter workshops on nutrition, running technique, cupping and taping.
Level 3 and 4 diploma, taken together
Combining the Active IQ diplomas moves you from first principles to a therapist who can plan care. Level 3 builds massage technique, anatomy and assessment. Level 4 adds advanced methods, pre-diagnosed injury and treatment planning, including biomechanics, common dysfunction and sport-specific stretch, trigger points and myofascial release.
- Pre, post and preventive sports massage
- Effleurage, petrissage, compressions, frictions, tapotement, passive stretching
- Subjective and objective assessment
- Soft-tissue repair methods
There is no formal entry hurdle beyond the wish to learn. Assessment includes observed client care. Bring an A4 folder, dividers, wallets, highlighters and paper. The route continues into specialist massage training and fitness instructing.
Level 3 diploma
The Active IQ Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage Therapy is the start: maintenance massage, common tissue problems, client assessment, musculoskeletal anatomy and clear communication.
Level 4 certificate
Level 4 widens the scope: more complex dysfunction, pre-diagnosed injuries, advanced techniques and a stronger grasp of sports science and rehabilitation.
