Course Accreditation

BASRaT accredits undergraduate and postgraduate educational programmes at institutions across the UK.

Students apply high-level academic and practical management skills to diagnosing, treating and rehabilitating musculoskeletal injuries. BASRaT accredited courses are closely monitored and place emphasis on implementing tailored exercise and rehab programmes.

Degree course content

BASRaT accredited degree courses cover the broad range of content required to become musculoskeletal healthcare professionals. This includes public health, behaviour change and pain science with a strong focus on exercise rehabilitation for varied patient populations, including those with long term conditions and non-communicable disease. This is in addition to the core topics such as anatomy & physiology, MSK assessment, clinical reasoning, treatment modalities, biomechanics and pre-hospital care.

Supervised clinical work

Students gain practical experience alongside their degree. To be accepted onto the BASRaT register, Sport Rehabilitators must complete 400+ hours of clinical work ensuring BASRaT students graduate with professional experience.
