No, there are no ATC's in the UK, up until now
Sport Rehabilitation has mainly been covered by Chartered Physiotherapists. As I
mentioned, only 2 Universities at present run the BASRaT degree (although
more will follow very shortly): St Marys, Twickenham, London and the
University of Salford, Manchester, England. Although at present I'm at St
Mary's, I'm completing my final year in my home town of Salford. For
details of the course have a look at :
From a students perspective, the course is
fantastic, very rewarding and very hard work. From the feedback I've had from
external Physiotherapists who I've organized clinical observations with, they
were all suprised (pleasantly I hasten to add) with our level of knowledge. The
National Sports Medicine Institute of the UK ran a feature on BASRaT after
its inception, and hopefully in the near future there should be lots more
publicity on its way.
