Overview

The term sports injury refers to the kinds of injuries that most commonly occur during sports or exercise. Some sports injuries result from accidents, others are due to poor training practices, improper equipment, lack of conditioning, or insufficient warm-up and stretching. Although virtually any part of your body can be injured during sports or exercise, the term is usually reserved for injuries involving the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, bones, and cartilage e.g., tennis elbow, runner’s knee, breaks to bones, torn ligaments and torn tendons.

This Athletic and Rehabilitation Therapy (Hons) programme at the Technological University of the Shannon is accredited by Athletic and Rehabilitation Therapy Ireland and graduates can practice as Certified Athletic Therapists.

Career Opportunities

As a graduate from this course, you may expect to find rewarding careers as a Certified Athletic Therapist in the areas of sports injury clinics, with amateur and professional sports clubs and teams, with national governing bodies of sports associations, and in health and fitness centres or as a self employed professional.
