Find a Therapist

Welcome to the SMA Find a Therapist directory, where you can search for an SMA member in your area and contact them directly about soft tissue therapy services. Please scroll to the end of the directory for information about member's gradings and qualification levels.

This directory is intended solely to help members of the public find an SMA therapist. Members’ contact details must not be used for marketing or promotional purposes. Organisations wishing to promote services to SMA members should contact yvonne@thesma.org.

Search tips

If searching by post code use only the first 2/3 characters (it searches only what is in a member's profile), try nearby postcodes if nothing shows.
You can also use the simple search for finding ANY specific word shown on a members profile.

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.
