About this course

Sports therapy applies the principles of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics to the prevention, assessment, and management of musculoskeletal injuries in physically active individuals. It is a clinical and applied discipline, distinct from sports science and from physiotherapy, focused on enabling athletes and active people to recover from injury safely and return to performance. Practitioners need both rigorous scientific knowledge and the hands-on clinical skill to assess injuries, design rehabilitation programmes, and work effectively in sport and exercise environments. At the University of the Highlands and Islands, this programme in sports therapy is studied part-time, making it accessible alongside existing commitments such as work or caring responsibilities. You will study anatomy and musculoskeletal physiology, injury assessment and management, sports massage, rehabilitation p
