Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation BSc (Hons)

As a BSc Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation graduate you become a practitioner to assess, treat, manage and prevent an array of musculoskeletal injuries.

You help manage pain and dysfunction in sporting and clinical environments for athletes and sedentary people.

You benefit from dual accreditation, where you have the option to be accredited by the British Association of Sports Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT) or the Sports Therapy Organisation (STO); and opportunities to complete other vocational certified awards including pre-hospital trauma and gym based instruction.

The course is a mixture of vocationally relevant skills with academic underpinning, giving you the latest evidence-based practice to facilitate the skills to become a confident, professional and successful rehabilitator.

You develop skills in sports massage; hands-on anatomy; manual diagnostic testing; gym-based conditioning and Olympic lifting; biomechanical and physiological screening; land and pool-base rehabilitation; peripheral and spinal mobilisations and trauma care. Academically, you develop key writing, report and statistical skills, while developing a scientific research ability.

At Teesside you are supported to develop your working practice via internal placements and key links with external professional football, rugby and clinical/health-based placements, giving you exposure to high level industry specific knowledge and facilities. You gain valuable experience in a range of professional environments, from internal sports massage clinics, rehabilitation clinics, pitch-side first aid, external sports teams and musculoskeletal practice.

Our meaningful industry relationships see employers access our facilities and knowledge base because they see it as pivotal to successful outcomes within industry. Your academic team are research and industry active, meaning you benefit from live case research, and cutting-edge developments in sports therapy and rehabilitation. This ensures you develop an evidence-base practice approach to your working practices, meaning you follow the science to help their patients safely and effectively.

Just having a good degree is not enough to give you the best platform to compete for graduate roles - which means work experience, work placements or volunteering is absolutely essential. Employers will be expecting you to have gained experience, articulate what you have gained, including skills you have developed that will be needed in their business.
