Governing Body
In order to resolve the problem of untrained therapists operating as Sports Massage Practitioners the National Sports Medicine Institute for the U.K. provided funding to establish the Sports Massage Association.
This organisation acts as the main governing body, in order that people may find therapists who are both qualified and approved as Sports Massage Practitioners. When searching for a Sports Massage Practitioner always look for the S.M.A. logo.
The Sports Massage Association maintain the standards for Sports Massage Practitioners and Sports Massage Training. This has provided regulation and a National register for Sports Massage Practitioners.
