Want A Career In Sports Massage Therapy?

There has always been a bit of a negative sentiment about women and massage. It’s seen as seedy and little underground. But sports massage therapy is something quite different and is a highly skilled profession that women should be proud to be a part of. We asked FLM Training ( https://flmtraining.co.uk/courses/sports-massage-course) to teach us more about the benefits of this profession.

FLM training are a training provider who specialise in leisure, fitness and personal trainer courses and apprenticeships. One of the fitness courses they do is a Level 3 Diploma in sports massage therapy. This course would cost you £1,199 and is 6 days of physical teaching and a day to complete the assessment. This course is extremely physical as there is only so much you can learn from a book, to learn you have to be able to do. Performing sports massage is also very physical, so you would need to be physically fit enough to complete this course and carry out the activity.

As a sports massage therapist you would be providing this therapy to a wide range of clients, such as athletes and those who suffer from day to day problems; like strain injury and tension.

UK Women at Business

Style: "Getty"

Women make up the largest amount of workforce in today’s competitive environment for almost 40-50% of the whole.

Business_WomanIn UK also this statistics shows that on the whole women are giving tough competition to the male counterparts and more and more women are reaching the level of perfection. Women are Crucial to the economic growth of every country. Today the number of people connecting online is growing day by day and with the total of 3 billion people online (still growing) every country has the potential to reach more individuals and make the stronger relationships between them.  For Women this new reality provides an opportunity to start their own business online.

In every developed country like UK women are becoming self employed because they are showing the ability to find the balance between her family and work life. The women who are showing this special ability are being called “mumprenuer” It’s a very interesting title. There are approximately 30 to 40 thousand mothers who run their own business by providing the work balance between their personal and professional life and brings billions to the economy of UK every year.

SWIB 1Margaret Thatcher, the only female Prime minister of Britain has been the inspiration to most of the female business owner’s. There are many names that have been an inspiration like Margaret Thatcher only to female entrepreneurs but also for many male counterparts’.

Hardly 7 to 10 countries from the world do women take part in business at the rates equal to men’s. However in some countries like Afghanistan they barely take part at all.
