Diploma
Take the next step in your career as a massage therapist by completing the Diploma of Remedial Massage. In this course you will learn the skills and knowledge to provide safe and appropriate recommendations and treatments to improve function of body systems and to modify treatments accordingly to work with specific populations across the life span.
You will learn to conduct a thorough client consultation, work with and refer to other professionals in allied health and medical environments and demonstrate professional practice within the scope of practice and the parameters of legal and ethical requirements.
To obtain a private fund provider number (through an association) you must complete the Diploma of Remedial Massage Therapy.
Remedial massage therapists at this level are equipped to provide specialised treatments for more complex conditions that affect the function of body systems, most particularly the musculoskeletal system, such as impacts of sports injuries and repetitive strain from poor posture and occupational habits. A therapist holding a Diploma of Remedial Massage may freelance or be employed by a sports and health care environment working with other health professionals in an integrated approach to improving health.
Note: Completion of a TAFE SA course does not guarantee an employment outcome. Formal requirements other than educational qualifications (eg licensing, professional registration), may apply to some occupations.
