Any sports therapists on here?

Kinda stuck in a job thats going nowhere, and I've always wanted to go into this line of work.. but other than heading back to uni, what other ways are their of getting into this line of work.
I've seen courses advertised by "trained therapists" but dont really look credible, nor worth the money they are asking.
Already done the Higher learning thing doing graphic design and photography, but jobs in these markets don't come up unless your already in the industry.
After speaking with friends that have careers planned out. Its time I pulled my finger out and took the dive. But really unsure where to start.

Just any advice on where to look, what to expect, best routes to take would be massively appreciated

Cheers James

Make sure the training allows you to actually practice rather than only use on yourself, friends and family. Best bet is to speak to insurance companies who insure such therapists and see which certificates/qualifications they recognise/accept. You'll need insurance btw so don't risk offering it without getting suitable training and relevant professional insurance just in case...
