Ian McLoughlin, BSc Hons MCSP HPC MSMA – Chartered Physiotherapist

The course has changed the way in which I work as a physiotherapist.  I use the techniques and skills which I acquired on a daily basis and have had excellent results.

Dr Sarah Taylor

As a long distance runner I have experienced the benefits of sports massage first hand and this has generated a keenness to understand and become proficient in the techniques myself.  This course has definitely broadened my knowledge in the area of sports massage and has given me the skills to provide massage to both sporting and patient populations.  The course attracts various people working within the fitness and health professions, all of whom have been interesting and fun to study with.  I have gained a lot of knowledge and this course fuelled my interest to learn more about techniques that I had never heard of previously.  I feel sports massage will play an ever-increasing complementary role in the treatment of musculoskeletal and other medical disorders by healthcare professionals as it becomes further researched and more evidence based.

Lee Paines MISRM MSMA – Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist

I thought the course was fantastic and was a good mix of both theory and practical application taught by knowledgeable, friendly and approachable tutors.  The way the course was delivered coped well with the mixed abilities and different backgrounds of the students, which is why I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.  I learned so much from the team at PTS and I believe that this has stood me in good stead to push forward and pursue a full time career as a Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist.

Charlotte Hardaker – Sports Massage Practitioner

I would strongly recommend this course to anyone with an interest in massage, and to those who are looking to further their skills and experience.  I have a large network of friends who have completed other sports massage courses, but in a professional setting their range of skills are very limited in comparison to those I have covered on this course.  My massage skills have improved beyond recognition, as has my confidence.  The lectures are a balance of the theoretical aspects of massage and fun practical learning.

Kevin Rodgers – Sports Massage Practitioner

This is an excellent course for people of all standards and backgrounds - I would definitely recommend it.  The tutors all work really well together and make learning new techniques straightforward, for all levels, in a very relaxed but professional way.  Although the course is demanding and the standards set are high, it is also really enjoyable.  Since qualifying in February 2007 I have kept in touch with several of my classmates as well as the tutors Paul, Rick and Liz, who have given me any support or advice that I have needed.  My practice is growing steadily and I now have the confidence to tackle any problem that comes my way.  This in itself is a testament to the way I was taught.
