NLSSM The School of Sports Massage - London

I highly recommend NLSSM. I found the learning experience great, and I developed a learning network with other students and made some great friendships along the way.

The NLSSM team fosters an environment where you can learn and develop with tutors experienced in soft tissue therapy from various backgrounds. The tutors’ experience was relatable, as some were career switches like myself.

The course structure allows you to build knowledge through hands-on practical learning alongside the theory. What stood out for me about the diploma was the work experience opportunities, such as treating clients in the student clinic. I found this valuable in building my confidence and knowledge to try the different techniques I was learning and to experience treating various people.

Since graduating, I have started my soft tissue therapy practice and returned to university to study Osteopathy.

Attending this massage course has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

The course layout was thoughtfully designed, making it easy to follow and incredibly engaging. Each module built perfectly upon the last, providing a clear and structured path to mastering massage techniques. The instructors were phenomenal—professional, approachable, and deeply knowledgeable. Their passion for what they do was contagious, and they always went above and beyond to ensure every student felt confident and supported.

One of the standout aspects of this course was the sheer number of placements and opportunities it provided. Whether working with athletes, dancers, or in community-focused settings, I gained hands-on experience in a variety of real-world scenarios that truly prepared me for a professional career. I’m thrilled to share that only a few months after qualifying, I’m already in my first job—a testament to the power and impact of this course.

What really sets this course apart is its sense of community. From day one, I felt welcomed into a caring and inclusive environment. The staff and fellow students were all so supportive, creating a space where we could learn, grow, and celebrate each other’s achievements.

If you’re considering a massage course, look no further. This program offers everything you need to succeed while making you feel part of something truly special. Five stars aren’t enough to express how grateful I am!

Great, friendly tutoring and a welcoming facility. The tutors' knowledge is both inspiring and motivating, and the quality of teaching is outstanding. The improvement in my skills and those of my colleagues from the beginning to now is unbelievable—you have truly developed great therapists. I always felt accepted and welcomed, and never felt discriminated against due to my foreign origin, strong accent, or dyslexia.

Two years after graduating from NLSSM, I couldn't be more grateful for my decision to start my sports massage journey with them.
The more I meet Soft Tissue Therapists, the more I understand how valuable is the skillset that they teach at NLSSM. They don't merely teach good techniques, but they are invested in delivering up-to-date workshops ensuring a current curriculum.

NLSSM's tutor cohort comes from diverse backgrounds, and each one offers invaluable, industry-specific insights.

Long story short…I would recommend NLSSM to anyone that is interested in starting a new career! And if I could I would start it again now <3

I have completed 2 of NLSSM's online webinars, 'Hypermobility 101' and 'Red flags for LBP' and benefited hugely from their content, and their relevance to soft tissue therapy. Professional and easy to follow. I would highly recommend their online webinars as CPD.

I am currently at NLSSM and I must say that my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The tutors at NLSSM are highly knowledgeable and undoubtedly among the best in the industry. Their expertise and passion for teaching shine through in every lesson.

One of the standout features of NLSSM is the extensive range of learning opportunities available to students. Whether it's through online lectures or in-person classes, NLSSM ensures that students have access to a diverse array of learning resources. Additionally, every student is assigned a dedicated mentor/tutor who provides valuable guidance and support throughout the learning journey. The emphasis on fostering peer groups and encouraging mutual support creates a strong sense of camaraderie among students.

NLSSM truly understands the importance of practical experience in the learning process. The curriculum is designed to provide ample hands-on opportunities, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. Moreover, NLSSM offers fulfilling event work and superb work placement opportunities, enabling students to gain invaluable first-hand practice. These experiences not only enhance learning but also assist in making informed decisions about future career paths.

Looking back, I only have one regret – not enrolling at NLSSM sooner! The quality of education, combined with the wealth of practical experience and career prospects, is truly remarkable. NLSSM has exceeded my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a wonderful learning and personal growth experience.

It took me over a year to decide whether to embark on the long learning journey to broaden my basic knowledge in massage therapy, and after thorough research, I decided to listen to my instinct and enrolled with NLSSM - and I'm so glad to have made the right decision as it has not only enhanced my learning in this field, but also challenge aspects of myself so that I can continuously to live in my highest vibrations and unravel hidden talents and passions that had been suppressed by previous mindsets.

I have been able to utilised a number of the topics learnt to help others and myself to heal and live a healthier life, and I so look forward to learning more! Thank you to Susan and all the tutors for their contribution to my learning, and I shall embrace this long, challenging, but rewarding journey 😊❤️
