The general area a sports therapist will work in is to help individuals and teams progress from being able to perform normal daily physical functions to sporting and highly skilled activities. From the mid 's onwards, there was a collective effort to establish sports therapy as a 'regulated' profession with protected title through the Health Professions Council HPC.
The agreement by all those with an interest in this area was that the minimum educational standard to practice in this field would be University Undergraduate level.
However, more recently the HPC have restricted applications to those professions where there is deemed to be a risk to the general public. Sports Therapy was not considered to pose any risks and will therefore not be put forward to the HPC unless there is a change in policy in the future.
This is not foreseeable at the present time. Therefore Sports Therapy is currently not regulated although there are membership organisations who continue to promote sports therapy through University programmes. Although these organisations may be highly regarded, they are memberhip rather than recognised educational bodies.
