If you’re a Level 3 qualified massage therapist looking to expand the services you offer, strapping and taping is one of the most practical CPD skills you can add to your practice.

From supporting injury recovery to helping athletes perform with confidence, strapping and taping is used daily by therapists working in clinics, sports clubs, and private practice right across Northern Ireland. This hands-on course gives you the knowledge and practical ability to apply professional strapping and taping techniques with confidence from day one.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is designed specifically for Level 3 qualified sports massage therapists who want to broaden their clinical skill set. Whether you’re working with sports teams, gym-goers, or private clients, strapping and taping will allow you to offer a more complete service and stand out from other therapists in your area.

It’s ideal if you’re already treating soft tissue injuries and want the confidence to support your clients between sessions with effective taping applications.

What You’ll Learn

This is a fully practical, in-person course. You won’t be watching from a screen — you’ll be hands-on from start to finish. The course covers the principles of rigid and elastic taping, joint-specific strapping techniques for the ankle, knee, wrist, shoulder, and thumb, kinesiology taping methods for support and recovery, when and how to apply strapping in real clinical and sporting scenarios, and contraindications and safety considerations.

You’ll leave with the ability to confidently assess, apply, and advise on strapping and taping techniques for a wide range of common injuries and conditions.

Why Add Strapping & Taping to Your Practice?

Clients and athletes expect their therapist to do more than just treat on the table. Strapping and taping allows you to extend your impact beyond the treatment room — helping clients train, compete, and recover with added support.

For therapists in Northern Ireland working with local sports clubs, adding taping to your services can be the difference between being a one-off appointment and becoming the go-to therapist for a full squad.

It’s also a skill that gives you more to offer in clinic, allowing you to charge more per session or bundle it into treatment packages.

How It’s Delivered

This course is delivered entirely in person. Class sizes are kept small so you get proper hands-on practice and direct feedback from your tutor. Everything you learn can be applied with your very next client.
