Graduate of the Month
Gemma Merritt - March 2024
Level 4 Certificate in Sports Massage Therapy
Background:
I've been in the sport and fitness industry for years as well as healthcare before this. I'm a qualified fitness coach/ personal trainer which led nicely to go into sports massage.
How have you used your new qualification?
After completing my level 3 I went straight onto my level 4, which was a great way for me to cement my new knowledge. From this I applied to university to study BSc (hons) Physiotherapy, which I am nearing the end of year one. I started my own mobile clinic, High Performance Sports Therapy, 14 months ago which has been incredible. Along side this I have done my pitch-side first aider and FA training as well as kinesiology taping. I work largely with athletes from amateur to semi-professional, as well as clients with general aches and pains. I have attended sporting events such as Equinox24, and this year I am supporting at the London marathon as a student physio as well as at the running show.
What did you think of the Level 4 Certificate in Sports Massage Therapy course you attended?
The training was above and beyond my expectations in every way. The tutors are incredible and so knowledgeable and teach such a holistic approach. In my opinion other training providers don't come close to the depth of SMA training. I don't believe I would be at university now if it wasn't for the support and encouragement from my tutors.
