The Diploma of Remedial Massage from the Australian Institute of Fitness equips graduates with the skills and qualification to work as a Remedial Massage Therapist across a range of industries, from professional sport to rehabilitation.

This program is the only massage qualification to include an AIF Sports Trainer certification, which enables graduates to manage sporting injuries, conduct sports taping and safely transport injured athletes.

As part of the course, students will also become an AIF Certified Functional Movement Therapist, learning how to identify, diagnose and treat movement-based dysfunction and prevent potential and recurring injuries.

Our Diploma of Remedial Massage provides graduates with not only the qualification to practice as a Remedial Massage Therapist, but also the skills to thrive in the industry, setting them up with business know-how.
