This Sports Taping And Strapping course offers exclusive training to therapists, sports coaches, and more with existing First Aid qualifications, equipping them with the necessary skills for immediate on-field injury intervention.
The National Qualification in Sports Taping and Strapping is an advanced course delivered using our new hybrid format and designed for all bodywork therapists, sporting coaches and other allied medical professionals to increase knowledge and develop the professional skills required to identify common injury sites and to offer appropriate intervention for the preparation and treatment of the site using taping and strapping.
This course is ideal for qualified therapists working with athletes, football teams, rugby or other sporting teams and/or other physically active clients.
This course will teach you effective sports taping and strapping techniques for injury prevention whilst teaching you how to minimize the chance of further damage when an injury occurs as well as tips on how to aid the healing process.
Sports taping and strapping are important techniques used in sports medicine to provide support and stability to joints and muscles. The primary benefit of taping and strapping is injury prevention. When an athlete is engaged in physical activity, the joints and muscles are under constant stress and can be prone to injuries. Taping and strapping can reduce the risk of injury by providing additional support to these areas.
In addition to preventing injuries, taping and strapping can also help manage existing injuries. For example, athletes with sprains or strains can use taping or strapping to reduce pain and inflammation, and to provide additional support to the affected area. This can help athletes return to their sport more quickly.
Taping and strapping can also have a positive impact on athletic performance. When athletes feel more secure and supported, they are more confident in their movements, which can lead to improved performance. Taping and strapping can also be used to provide support and stability to weak or injured areas, allowing athletes to push themselves harder without the risk of further injury.
Finally, taping and strapping are a cost-effective alternative to other medical interventions. Surgery, for example, can be expensive and require a lengthy recovery time. Taping and strapping, on the other hand, are relatively inexpensive and can be done quickly and easily. This makes them an attractive option for athletes at all levels of competition.
A very big thank you for a wonderful course. You are all very special people in different ways. Your professionalism and knowledge delivered with love fun and passion shines through at all times. I will miss you all very much. Be that body !!
The NTC is an excellent facility. The tutors are very knowledgeable, warm and welcoming and I always enjoy coming back here.
In April 2012 I completed the Certificate level Neuromuscular Therapy course. Since I completed the course I have had massive success and progression. I had several private clients that I attained from advertising in the gym that I was working in, and also worked on a referral basis with physiotherapist David Gardiner owner of Physiotherapyworks in Naas Co.Kildare.
In August 2012 I moved to Perth, Australia where I have enjoyed even more success. I spent 8 months working at Subiaco Sports Massage and while working in this clinic I had the privilege of treating several Olympic athletes including Sir Chris Hoy of the GB cycling team and also Western Force rugby team of the super 15s competition.
I really enjoyed my time at the NTC – we really had a great group and we all keep in touch.
Thank you to John Sharkey and all the NTC tutors. The Advanced European Neuromuscular Therapy course has been an eye-opener for me because of my background in Personal Training and Sports Massage. I have learnt unique ways of treating pain and have been applying these techniques to my existing clients.
In particular, a long-term client of mine with knee chronic pain, after few hours of treatment her knee pain has reduced by 80 percent.
Once again thank you to all NTC tutors this would not have been possible without you. It is a shame the course has come to an end but I also can’t wait to treat people with chronic pain and do a diploma in Neuromuscular Therapy. I will definitely recommend this course to a friend or a family member.
I really enjoyed the course and the highly engaged and motivated tutors. I found the course very interesting and was fascinated by the individual components of NMT.
I would like to thank everybody involved for their highly valuable input, knowledge and support while studying.
Can I pass on my sincerest gratitude to all the staff at NTC ? Once again you all have delivered another professional and enjoyable course that ensures a qualification that is recognised and accepted with high regard within the industry.
I have just sat my NMT exams and if it wasn’t for Larry, one of my tutors who helped me out, I would have let my nerves get the best of me. I also wish to thank the rest of the tutors and staff for all their help over the past 18 months.
Thanks very much to all the tutors at NTC for all your help. You all made this course very enjoyable and I’m sure the whole group had as much fun as I did. This course was the best learning experience I have come across and I thank you for that.
