Who we are
Our third year undergraduate Sports Therapy students are required to undertake 200 hours of supervised clinical placement in a sport and/or exercise related environment. At least 50 of these hours take place in the University’s on site clinic.
The clinic’s main objectives are:
- Teaching support and supervision
- Regular clinical exposure to enhance student learning
The students assess, treat and undertake rehabilitation and management of sports injuries, joint and muscular pains.
Clinical practice is supervised by a Practice Educator and Clinic Supervisor who facilitates the assessment and clinical reasoning processes and enables the students to develop their clinical skills and professional practice in a clinical environment.
The services provided are exclusively available to University of Essex staff and students. Initial and follow-up consultations are available at a cost of £5 per session payable by card, we do not except cash payments.
