Who We Are

The Sports Therapy Organisation (STO) is a professional association dedicated to supporting and representing Sports Therapists and Sports Massage Therapists at every stage of their career.

Our Mission

Our mission is to be there for our members from the very beginning of their journey as student members, through to full professional practice and beyond. Membership of STO is not simply a status; it is belonging to a professional community that shares knowledge, values, and a commitment to advancing the field of sports therapy.

Professional Standards & Research

Through close collaboration with industry partners and sport governing bodies, we uphold high standards of practice across the profession. We are firmly grounded in research, ensuring that developments within sports therapy are informed by evidence and aligned with best practice.

Value for Our Members

As a not-for-profit organisation, we keep membership fees accessible while delivering substantial value. Our members benefit from exclusive discounts on therapy products and services, along with access to one of the most comprehensive insurance packages available in the industry.

A Community of Practitioners

Our strength lies in community. We recognise the role our members play in supporting individuals, teams, and society — from grassroots initiatives through to elite performance environments. The STO exists to empower practitioners, strengthen the profession, and ensure the public has access to safe, qualified, and insured professionals.

Working With Us

Whether you are a practitioner seeking a professional home, a training provider looking for accreditation, a company wishing to partner with us, an event organiser requiring skilled therapy teams, or a member of the public seeking expert care — the Sports Therapy Organisation is here to connect, support, and represent our community.
