Sarah Catlow - Course Lead, Sport Rehabilitation and Conditioning;
“We start by learning about the psychological behaviours that relate to high level sport performance and also learn soft tissue techniques to help relieve injuries with real clients. In the second year you will learn how to assess and treat spinal injuries, learn more about how the body heals after injury and undertake a work placement in the industry.
