Sport Rehabilitation
A modern programme that provides skills and knowledge for the management of musculoskeletal injury, progressing on to health and fitness training programmes.
Level 1
Work at level one is designed to sensitise the students to the language, concepts and knowledge of basic anatomy and physiology. By introducing kinesiology to study the trunk, upper and lower limb, students will then begin to look at anatomical and physiological considerations in an applied manner which will look at structure in relation to function.
In addition the student is introduced to concepts in sport and exercise psychology, which enables the student to consider the psychological effects of injury. Practical skills will be introduced and developed in the areas of client assessment and movement analysis and massage.
Students are then required to probe deeper into the application of theoretical knowledge relating to structure and function. The student develops an understanding of the mechanism and causation of sport injuries and the various pathological considerations that need to be taken into account in the assessment of injury.
The development of professional skills begins through risk assessment procedures, and B.A.S.RaT legal/ethical guidelines are introduced. These are further supported by clinical observation and client assessment where professional assessment skills are taught and through observation of professionals assessing and treating clients further reinforced.
