| Welcome to The SMA The Sports Massage Association |
Why use an SMA therapist?
Full members of the SMA will have undertaken an approved course of education, will have Professional Liability insurance and must adhere to the Association's Code of Conduct. To ensure members develop and improve their skills as a therapist the Association require all members to complete a minimum of 30 hours CPD (Continuing Professional Development) annually. Only Full Members of the SMA are entitled to use the SMA logo in their advertising and the letters MSMA after their name. Bona-fide members are issued with a dated membership certificate that confirms their current registration.
Who appears on the register?
Only Full Members who have current insurance details on their profile appear on the register.
A Full member is defined as someone who has completed an eligible Level 4 or 5 qualification and is therefore deemed to be fully qualified under the National Occupational Standards.
Level 3 Therapists, Student members and Friends of the SMA do NOT appear on the register as they have not yet attained the requisite level of qualification.
Note for Full members: if you cannot find yourself on the register, please check on your member profile that your insurance details are current and that you have consented to be publicly visible.SMA Membership Levels and Membership Status
