OK here is something I get asked an awful lot - "what qualifications are available for massage therapists"

So here is a list of massage therapist qualifications and broadly what they mean

• Level 3 Diploma – The entry-level qualification. Therapists can deliver safe and effective massage (sports, Swedish, holistic) and gain insurance to practice.
• Level 4 Diploma – Advanced Sports Massage Therapy. Therapists can assess injuries, use more specialist techniques, and support recovery.
• Level 5 Diploma – The highest vocational qualification. Focuses on complex injuries, soft tissue dysfunction, and clinical reasoning and rehabilitation. (This is the level I hold).
• Level 6 Qualification – Degree-level study, often covering advanced clinical reasoning, research, and specialist practice areas.

The higher the level, the more in-depth the training and higher clinical skills are taught. My Level 5 training means I can support clients not just with general aches and pains, but also with injury management, illnesses such as Cerebral Palsy, Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis etc and long-term recovery.

The thing to remember is that you can't treat or massage someone with a paper certificate. A good therapist whatever the level will care about what they are doing to help you and will work with you to acheive your goals and aims. Remaining within their knowledge and skill set is key, therapists must recognise when to refer clients onto more specialised clinicians for treatment.

As a patient you must not be scared to ask your therapist what their qualifications are and if they are able to treat your condition/ailment effectively.

💪 Train Hard. Recover Smarter. 🛠️

If you’re smashing it in the gym, don’t forget recovery is just as important as the workout itself. Regular sports massage can help:

✨ Reduce muscle soreness & speed up recovery
✨ Improve flexibility & range of motion
✨ Prevent injuries by easing tight spots
✨ Boost circulation for better performance

Whether you lift, run, or push your limits in any way — massage isn’t a luxury, it’s part of the process.

📍 Based in Lancing, I help gym users keep moving pain-free, recover faster, and perform at their best.

👉 DM to book your session and give your muscles the recovery they deserve!

🤔 “Isn’t Soft Tissue Therapy just a fancy name for sports massage?”
Not quite! Think of it like this…

👉 Sports massage = a good spring clean for your muscles.
👉 Soft Tissue Therapy = a professional organiser who figures out why things keep getting messy — and helps stop it happening again!

With Soft Tissue Therapy you get:
✅ Relief from tight, achy muscles
✅ Improved movement & posture
✅ Support for injuries (not just sports ones!)
✅ Long-term results, not just a quick fix

And you don’t need to be an athlete to book in — most of my clients are everyday people who just want to move better, hurt less, and feel more like themselves.

📍 If you come and see me, every session is tailored to you — whether that’s tackling a niggly shoulder, easing work-from-home tension, or helping you keep up with the kids/grandkids/dog 🐶.

✨ Sports massage gives relief. Soft Tissue Therapy gives solutions.
