Program Overview

Learn how to help athletes recover from injury and design injury prevention programmes for sports teams with our sports therapy degree.

Whether you have ambitions of working within the professional sports environment or running your own clinic, our accredited Sports Therapy degree gives you the skills, knowledge, and experience to treat and rehabilitate individuals with neurological, muscular, or skeletal complaints.

The course utilises a range of industry-leading technologies and facilities to provide outstanding educational experiences.

Industry leading technology
Our brand-new Telehealth Hub is an industry leading facility which enables students to develop their skills in digital sport, exercise and healthcare; establishing transferable skills, maximising employability and future proofing Staffordshire University graduates. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, healthcare providers turned to web-based systems to continue providing care to patients. The adoption of web-based, remote healthcare, and the familiarity of such systems from the general public, overcame many of the barriers that were previously experienced by patients and had economical advantages. As such, it is expected that telehealth practices will remain beyond the pandemic.

Students will use the Staffordshire University Telehealth facility to assess, educate, monitor, and/or deliver health care interventions virtually. Students are also able to use the facility to record joint assessments, injury treatments and exercise programs to create a portfolio of resources ready for industry, and to revise from.

Students can also access a fully equipped gait analysis laboratory with a variety of world-leading equipment such as Vicon Motion Capture Systems, AMTI Optima Force plates, Tekscan Systems and Aixplorer Ultrasound Elastography, as well as other physiological equipment located in our physiology-based laboratories. These laboratories are also used by local professional football clubs such as Stoke City FC.
