The Sports Therapy Association (STA) is setting a new benchmark of endorsed quality assured degree and vocational training programmes.

Higher Education

Our aim is that undergraduates are offered a high standard of endorsed vocational education embedded into their degree programme which in return gives professional representation for sports therapists, sports rehabilitators, sports injury therapists and soft tissue therapists across the United Kingdom.

Accredited Vocational Training

Training providers offering qualifications via awarding organisation are also eligible for endorsement.

We have licensed PD:Approval (an independent endorsement agency) to work with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and accredited training providers throughout the UK to develop a truly independent endorsement process that is committed to raising standards across the Sports Therapy and Sports Rehab industry, progressing opportunities for our valued members through vocational awards.

As practicing Sports Therapists and Sports Rehabilitators working in an increasingly challenging political climate, we identified the need for a new, dynamic, forward thinking and proactive professional association - a body that could voice the opinions of practitioners and lobby for positive change, crucially without the bias associated with direct links to training providers, hence our partnership with PD:Approval. We are proud of what the STA represents and we will continue to work tirelessly on behalf of our members and to fulfil our commitment to promote excellence in the field of Sports Therapy and Sport Rehab.

One industry, empowered to perform
