Profile
The Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Athletic & Rehabilitation Therapy at the Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest (TUS) is a four-year program that prepares students for a career as a Certified Athletic Therapist in Ireland and abroad.
The term sports injury refers to the kinds of injuries that most commonly occur during sports or exercise. Some sports injuries result from accidents, others are due to poor training practices, improper equipment, lack of conditioning, or insufficient warm-up and stretching. Although virtually any part of your body can be injured during sports or exercise, the term is usually reserved for injuries involving the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, bones, and cartilage e.g., tennis elbow, runner’s knee, breaks to bones, torn ligaments and torn tendons. In this honours degree, students will become skilled in the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries related to physical activity.
