Program Overview

SIT's Bachelor of Therapeutic and Sports Massage was the first named massage degree program to be approved in New Zealand.  It has been taught since 2002 and students have been graduating since 2004.  Healthcare delivery has moved beyond clinical competence and beyond copying previously successful clinicians. Today's practitioners need to relate to a wider healthcare 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 program 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, but can not endorse any one group.

Graduating students from this degree have good opportunities for 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.

This qualification has been designed to prepare graduates for careers in both the therapeutic and sports massage fields. The program of study includes anatomy and physiology, general pathology, therapeutics, clinical reasoning, and functional assessment, massage for physical performance, research and business management principles.
