Student Success Story: Leah’s Journey Through Level 3 & 4 Sports Massage
Meet Leah, the face behind Leah’s Active Relief Therapy, and a brilliant graduate of our VTCT Level 3 & Level 4 Sports Massage qualifications.
Leah chose to study sports massage because she’s always been drawn to sports-related treatments, injury care and rehabilitation. With a long-term goal of becoming a physiotherapist, she knew that completing her Sports Massage training in Norwich would be the perfect first step towards a career in physiotherapy and sports massage therapy.
Like many students, the workload felt overwhelming at the start but Leah learned to pause, breathe, and trust the process.
“It all seems overwhelming, but give yourself time and take a breath – it will all work itself out.”
After finishing her qualifications at NSHB, Leah secured a place on a Physiotherapy degree at UEA, while also beginning to build her own massage business from home. Her passion and determination have already opened incredible opportunities, including gaining hands-on experience by providing sports massage at Run Norwich something she is extremely proud of.
Looking ahead, Leah can clearly picture her future:
In five years, she sees herself working in a physiotherapy clinic while running a thriving sports massage business, building a strong and loyal client base. Her training at NSHB has given her the skills and confidence to offer:
– Injury massage
– Pre-event massage
– Post-event massage
– Maintenance massage
…all delivered as full body treatments.
Leah describes her time training with us as supportive, friendly and empowering.
“The course was a friendly environment to learn a new skill. The staff were supportive and willing to help in all ways possible. At the beginning the work felt overwhelming, but with time and determination it all falls into place perfectly.”
Seeing Leah step confidently into the world of sports massage therapy is exactly why NSHB is passionate about helping adults retrain and build meaningful, flexible careers.
