The LSSMFounded in 1989 the LSSM was first to provide specialist training in Sport & Remedial Massage and has remained a pioneer and leader in the field having done much to establish what is now a well-recognised discipline in modern healthcare. With such a long history it is not surprising that the LSSM has the most experienced team of tutors who are at the very top of the profession and this is our greatest strength. Almost all massage therapists are self-employed and work in the private sector of healthcare and our vocational training is centred round this. It enables therapists to safely and effectively treat clients from all walks of life, suffering a variety of musculoskeletal as well as medical conditions. This offers the therapist the greatest potential for success in a career that can be immensely satisfying and enjoyable. We provide students with many opportunities to work as volunteers at sports events like the London Marathon & Triathlon as well as other events all over the country.

Fees: Total £2,750 / £2,850 from Sept. 2012 ADVANCED WORKSHOPS (CPD)These short courses are designed to keep professional therapists up to date with the latest techniques & developments.. What is Sport & Remedial Massage? The ISRM qualification centres round “Remedial” massage therapy, which simply means using manual therapy techniques to try to “remedy” a problem. But to offer a remedy you must do more than just relieve pain; you must also be able to understand how the problem came about and how it can be avoided in the future. To achieve this, our training covers a range of massage and advanced soft tissue techniques set within a framework of assessment and rehabilitation procedures. As well as dealing effectively with a variety of musculoskeletal problems this can also be used to help in recovery and reduce the symptoms in many medical conditions too.

The LSSM has been instrumental in setting up the Institute of Sport & Remedial Massage ISRM which is the professional body promoting our needs and aspirations as clinical therapists. (see www.theisrm.com) Graduates can become full members of the ISRM which has an online register of therapists, continual professional development programme, and all the professional support a therapist needs, such as insurance etc. Through ISRM, members are eligible to register with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council CNHC which is the new government-backed regulator for the profession. The LSSM operates the ISRM qualification which is externally validated by Edexel/BTEC (the national awarding body for professional education and training in the UK). It is highly respected in the UK and recognised in many other counties too. Graduates receive:
BTEC Professional Diploma in Clinical Sport & Remedial Massage (Level 5) and LSSM Diploma in Sport & Remedial Massage. Graduates can become full members of the ISRM which has an online register of therapists and a Continual Professional Development programme, plus all the necessary professional support a therapists needs, such as insurance etc. (see www.theisrm.com) Graduates are eligible to join the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council CNHC
CNHC is the UK regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners. Its key function is to enhance public protection by setting standards for registration with CNHC. The CNHC quality mark (above) is being recognised as the hallmark of quality for the sector. This means that the general public, and those who commission the services of complementary healthcare practitioners, will be able to choose with confidence by looking for the CNHC quality mark. The Department of Health in November 2009 stated: "CNHC is the only voluntary regulatory body for complementary healthcare which has official government backing. No other organisation has the same exacting criteria or focus on safety and quality." CNHC Registration The ISRM has been approved by the CNHC to verify applications for registration and encourages its members to register in order to gain the quality mark. The ISRM/BTEC qualification exceeds the standards set by CNHC and graduates are eligible to register. To find out more about the CNHC go to: www.cnhc.org.uk |

The ISRM is delighted to be involved with Seeing Hands Nepal, which is a charity training blind people in Nepal to give 'western' style massage to tourist/trekkers. Instead of living in extreme poverty, dependent on their family or forced to beg, the first few therapists are now earning money. (And giving a good massage service to tired trekkers too.)
ISRM is helping in the design and delivery of an effective training programme and training volunteer tutors. This really is a wonderful project and we hope you will take time to look on their website to find out more. [click here] |
