Lloyd and Rosa from Rothery Health & Sports Injury Clinic here in Pembrokeshire as part of the only Sports Therapy degree in Wales accredited by the Society of Sports Therapy, are becoming educated as competent practitioners in all aspects of Sports Therapy. The Graduate Sports Therapy degree programme based here in Wales will allow Rosa & Lloyd both the chance to work in private Sports Injury Clinics or in professional / semi-professional sports clubs within the UK or abroad.
They will also become competent and capable of dealing with acute injuries ‘Pitchside’, being able to perform a clinical assessments to develop a diagnosis, and using a variety of treatment methods alongside sport specific rehabilitation techniques to get the athlete back to full sports participation.
Students on this programme of study will also learn in a practical setting with plenty of hands on teaching in a dedicated Sports Therapy Suite and Rehabilitation Centre. Teaching staff are experienced Graduate Sports Therapists, having worked in professional, semi-professional, national and international sports over a number of years.
In the first year, Lloyd & Rosa will learn the fundamental skills needed in the assessment of sports injuries, together with soft tissue techniques including sports massage and Pitchside first aid.
During the first year students will also have the opportunity to work as Pitchside first aiders and gain clinical experience in our Sports Massage clinic. Alongside these Sports Therapy specific modules, Rosa & Lloyd will also study applied human physiology and personal training modules.
In the second year they will be taught to complete a full examination and assessment of an injured player and make a diagnosis, treat the injury with manual therapy techniques and rehabilitate the athlete back to full sports participation.
We are so pleased to have them both on the team at Rothery Health and Sports Injury Clinic
