Welcome to the North London School of Sports Massage

NLSSM offers a wide range of massage courses from Introductory Weekend Seminars to a complete Diploma in Sports & Remedial Massage, as well as a Continuing Professional Development curriculum for the therapist who wishes to keep up to date with current practices.

Introductory sports massage courses allow the student to learn and practice the relaxing effects of sports massage with the practical guidance of knowledgeable teachers. It also serves as a starting point for those considering a career in this profession.

NLSSM specializes in training our students to have the appropriate diagnostic and assessment skills that will enable them to treat minor soft tissue conditions and be able to determine appropriate referrals. As well as the foundational subjects & techniques, the following are included in the sports & remedial massage curriculum:

  • Introduction to Biomechanics
  • Postural Assessment
  • Stretching techniques
  • Soft Tissue Release, Muscle Energy Techniques, & Neuromuscular Technique (essential tools in remedial massage)
  • Soft tissue injury and rehabilitation workshops
  • Business Mastery (teaching students the essentials of being self employed & how to market your practice)

Our teachers are not only highly qualified in their fields of expertise but are also trained in the application of accelerated learning techniques, to ensure students learn more.

The Sport & Remedial Massage Diploma provides a combination of theory and practical hands on experience to equip therapists to practice at a professional level. The Diploma course is accredited by BTEC/Edexcel. Upon completion of the course, graduates may apply for membership with the Sports Massage Association and the Institute of Sport & Remedial Massage as well as being eligible to register themselves on the General Council for Massage Therapists.

Now Available: an 11 day Post Degree Sports & Remedial Massage course is starting in 2008 which is suitable for physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and sports science degree graduates. For further information, please see Courses, or contact the office.

At NLSSM we have developed our massage courses to enable students to graduate as competent sport & remedial massage practitioners, who are able to work independently, addressing client concerns in a confident manner. Helping to ensure students get the attention they need to develop their skills we have a ratio of one teacher to every six students.
