Bachelor of Therapeutic and Sports Massage - 3 years full time
The SIT Bachelor of Therapeutic and Sports Massage is the first named massage degree programme to be approved in New Zealand, it has been taught from 2002 and has been graduating students since 2004. Health care delivery has moved beyond clinical competence and beyond copying previously successful clinicians. Today's practitioners need to relate to a wider health care team and respond to the expressed needs and expectations of families, pressure groups, professionals and the wider community (Higgs & Edwards, 1999).
Backed by SIT's recognised infrastructures and academic community, the programme promotes research driven education, strong training in a community based clinic, and exceeds suggested industry requirements in both academic areas and clinical practice.
The Bachelor of Therapeutic and Sports Massage encourages graduates to join a professional group which represents their career interests on graduation but can not endorse any one group.
Graduating students from this degree have greater opportunities of employment both nationally and internationally.
Graduates are critical thinking, reflective practitioners with technical and professional competence, sound reasoning and research literacy, and have a capacity to manage knowledge and its acquisition during their working lives. One Bachelor of Therapeutic and Sports Massage graduates said: "Taking part in the degree made me feel part of the development of the massage profession. It was wonderful to be in a programme where the theory linked directly to the real world outside SIT, and where a large part of my education was applying what I was learning in clinics and community placements. For me the degree was challenging, academically and personally. The integration of hands on skills, academic research and writing, anatomy, physiology, clinical reasoning and critical thinking meant that it wasn't just mentally stimulating, but that personal and professional growth were unavoidable."
This qualification has been designed to prepare graduates for careers in both the therapeutic and sports massage fields. The programme of study includes anatomy and physiology, general pathology, therapeutics, clinical reasoning and functional assessment, massage for physical performance, research and business management principles.
