New Zealand Academy of Sport

RMT’s are eligible to apply to become an approved massage provider to New Zealand Academy of Sport (NZAS). The Academy provides sports medicine and sports science support services to NZ’s elite athletes with massage being one of the services that carded athletes are eligible to receive. New NZAS massage providers are appointed on a needs basis only so even if you are an RMT, if the supply of massage services in your area is already met by existing Academy providers, the Academy is unlikely to make new appointments.
