An accelerating aging society, the growing popularity of sport, and the social demand for functional recovery after medical treatment — these three trends are converging on a single point.

That point is the need for sport rehabilitation professionals.

The steady growth in sport rehabilitation-related university programs nationwide is clear evidence that this field has already earned society's trust. The Association stands on that momentum.

The Korea Association of Sport Rehabilitators (KASRaT) is guided by three core missions.

01

Upholding Educational Quality

Through close partnership with sport rehabilitation programs and educational institutions nationwide, we set the standard for learning and ensure it translates into genuine professional competence in the field.

02

Guaranteeing the Credibility of Certification

Through rigorous certification examinations and a continuing professional development (CPD) system, we ensure that KASRaT certification is more than a piece of paper — it is a guarantee of professional competence and ethics.

03

Aligning Our Standards with the World

Through partnerships with global bodies including the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators (BASRaT), we continuously develop our education and certification to meet international standards.

The Association exists for the professional growth and rights of our members. At the same time, we will not forget that raising the standard of the sport rehabilitation field as a whole and building public trust is a responsibility we all share.

Please join us on this path.
