What’s the Difference Between a Sports Therapist and a Sports Massage Therapist?
At Knead It Sports Therapy, we often get asked about the difference between the two — and knowing who to book can make a big difference in your results and recovery.
🔹 Level 3 Sports Massage Therapists are trained to provide hands-on treatment that helps with:
Muscle tension and tightness
Post-exercise recovery
General maintenance for active lifestyles
Improved flexibility and circulation
They’re perfect for regular tune-ups, relaxation, or easing everyday aches from training, work or stress. However, they don’t diagnose or rehabilitate injuries — that’s where our sports therapists come in.
🔹 Sports Therapist at Knead It
A Sports Therapist at Knead It is qualified to:
Provide level 4 Sport Massage and manual therapy
Assess and diagnose musculoskeletal injuries
Create individual rehab plans
Deliver hands-on treatment like massage and joint mobilisations
Guide you from injury to full recovery
Provide exercise advice and injury prevention strategies
We take a holistic approach to your recovery — whether you’ve picked up a training injury, are struggling with long-term pain, or need help returning to sport.
✅ Here’s a simple way to decide who you need at Knead It:
Want to relax, recover, or keep your body in check? 👉 Book a Level 3 or 4 Sports Massage
