Sports Injuries
Comprehensive, Interactive, Dynamic, Motivational
Join experienced sports therapist Julie Hayton for this comprehensive 1-Day Sports Injury Course, designed to give massage therapists, fitness professionals, and bodyworkers the essential knowledge and practical tools to understand and manage common sports-related injuries. Throughout the day, you’ll explore the causes, signs, and symptoms of typical injuries such as sprains, strains, tendonitis, and joint instability. Julie’s clear and supportive teaching style makes complex topics accessible, combining theory with hands-on practice to help you assess injuries confidently and decide when to treat—or when to refer. You’ll learn how to use observation, palpation, and basic functional testing to identify different injury types, along with guidance on immediate care, longer-term management, and rehabilitation support. The course also includes discussions on red flags, contraindications, and how to communicate effectively with clients during their recovery process. This course is perfect for those looking to deepen their clinical understanding, improve client outcomes, and feel more equipped when working with active individuals or athletes. Whether you’re newly qualified or experienced but wanting a refresh, you’ll come away with greater confidence, clarity, and practical skills to support recovery and prevent re-injury.
