Why train with LSSM?

As the pioneers of Soft Tissue Therapy there can be nowhere better to train than LSSM.

The best training and tutors
Since we began in 1989 we have been developing our own BTEC qualification built on the clinical skills of our team of tutors. Led by Mel Cash, they are all very highly experienced hands-on therapists. They have been together at LSSM for a long time and teach with great passion and humour as well as in-depth specialist knowledge and experience. Our course has put together a package of skills that we know work well in practice and we don’t waste time on subjects of less value.

Our aim is to give you the skills and knowledge needed to have a stimulating and rewarding career, helping people who have pain and injury as well as those needing a good Sports Massage service.

Premises
We have great premises at Regent’s Park in central London as well as a branch in Southampton.

Video library
Our students have access to our Video Library with over 50 videos covering all aspects of our course. They provide great additional support to the classroom experience but do not replace any hands-on classes.

Online learning
Although there is a lot of theoretical knowledge that you need to know, our online home study assignments have been carefully designed to make it easy to learn.

No final theory exam
Our unique course assessment process includes small (less formal) tests throughout the course which mean that we can now achieve all the educational criteria without having a final theory exam. 

Reputation
Our BTEC Level 5 qualification in Soft Tissue Therapy and the LSSM’s reputation in delivering it are the highest in the country.
