Opportunity to treat elite British athletes 
The Sport and Remedial Therapies Council SRTC, which Stonehenge Therapies is part of, has become an official benefit provider to the British Athletics Commission (BAC) to provide sports therapy and sports massage therapy to their athletes. They recognise how vitally important it is that these athletes get sports therapy treatment to help them recover from training and prevent injury and they are equally concerned that they get only the best quality treatment.
The BAC represents over 3000 Olympic, Paralympics and World Class funded elite athletes. Their membership includes those expected to bring in medals; those recognised as development athletes; and those in the Talented Athletes Sponsorship Scheme (TASS) who are college and university students showing potential and receiving little to no funding. BAC also represents over 1000 retired athletes.
The SRTC has agreed with the BAC that the sports therapists and sports massage therapists eligible to participate in the scheme and provide sports and remedial therapy treatment to their athletes must meet the following criteria.
• Registered with the voluntary regulator the CNHC for sports and remedial therapy or sports massage.
• Hold a minimum of £3m combined medical malpractice, public and products liability insurance
• Have a minimum of 5 years practical sports therapy experience or 7 years practical sports massage experience in dealing with sports injuries
• Register to participate in a clinical sports therapy workshop within a set time of joining the scheme
• Hold full professional membership of any of the PA’s in the SRTC
• Agree to charge BAC elite athletes a single preset treatment fee
BAC elite athletes will access the database of eligible therapists held on the SRTC website and will be required to show their BAC elite club membership card to the therapists to be eligible to receive this single reduced treatment fee.
Please contact your PA to be verified to be able to participate in this exciting scheme to work with elite athletes and to register to attend a clinical sports therapy workshop.
On successful verification of your skills, competencies, experience and registration with the CNHC you will be added to the BAC database.
- The single treatment fee also includes the first consultation
