Ep.286 'Communication Skills For MSK Clinicians Part 3: Explaining Diagnoses' with guest Ben Whybrow

In Part 3 of our focus this month on Communication Skills for MSK Clinicians, entitled 'EXPLAINING DIAGNOSES', host Matt Phillips is joined by special guest Ben Whybrow, Clinical Communication Skills Facilitator at Norwich Medical School, specialist physiotherapist in an NHS Pain Clinic, and host of the Clinical Communication Podcast.

In this episode, Ben explores how MSK clinicians can explain diagnoses clearly, confidently and compassionately. He discusses asking about patients’ expectations, meeting people where they’re at, timing explanations, using simple relatable analogies (like the "cocktail"), and checking understanding.

Practical tips focus on keeping explanations simple, validating feelings over repeating facts, tailoring language to the patient, and prioritizing how patients feel so they leave reassured and able to move forward.

Ep.284 'Communication Skills For MSK Clinicians: Part1 - Motivational Interviewing' with Orla Adams

A new month and a new focus topic: 'Communication Skills for MSK Clinicians'. In Part 1 of this four part series, titled 'Motivational Interviewing in MSK Practice', host Matt Phillips is joined by special guest Orla Adams, a highly respected & experienced Motivational Interviewing trainer based in Cardiff, alongside Motivational Interviewing co‑founder Dr Stephen Rollnick. 

The episode explores what Motivational Interviewing really is and why it continues to matter in modern healthcare. It unpacks how MI helps shift perspectives from “fixing” patients to partnering with them, with a particular focus on recognising and resisting the fixing reflex that many clinicians fall into under pressure. Orla shares insights into the core skills and training required to practise MI well, highlighting the power of open questions, reflective listening, and the evolving language of MI in supporting meaningful behaviour change. Through real-life examples, the episode brings these concepts to life and show how MI can be applied day to day, while also addressing the link between MI-informed practice and clinician wellbeing, including burnout prevention. Also mentioned are MI training opportunities, as well as upcoming events and workshops with Orla for anyone keen to deepen their practice.

Ep.283 'Common Frustrations For MSK Clinicians: Part 4/4'' with Tristen Attenborough

Many of the frustrations MSK clinicians feel when assessments, diagnoses, or outcomes don’t go to plan aren’t down to lack of skill, but to unseen COGNITIVE BIASES and JUDGEMENT NOISE shaping everyday decisions. In the final part of our focus this month, 'Common Frustrations For MSK Clinicians', host Matt Phillips is joined by special guest Tristen Attenborough of movementpossible.co.uk, a Sports Therapist with BSc Psychology & MSc Pain Management, who explains how unawareness or misunderstanding of these human factors fuels inconsistency, self‑doubt, and missed learning.

Tristen discusses perceptual errors like pareidolia and confirmation bias, how natural history and survivorship bias can mislead clinicians, and practical strategies to reduce bias, including reflection, humility, and supervision.

Together, Tristen and Matt discuss better clinical reasoning, avoiding absolute language, and giving clients agency in their care. The episode closes with advice for clinicians to hold results lightly and focus on listening to patients, plus details of Tristen’s presentations at the up & coming STA Regional Conferences.

Ep.281 'Common Frustrations For MSK Clinicians - Part 2/4'' with Carla Bickerstaffe & Emily Gilbert

In Part 2 of our focus this month 'Common Frustrations For MSK Clinicians', host Matt Phillips is joined by special guests Carla Bickerstaffe, Sports Therapist & part of the Invictus Games Medical Team, and Emily Gilbert, a Chronic Pain Specialist and owner of Framework Sports Massage.

Carla and Emily talk discuss their frustration with the term “soft skills”, and explain why soft skills such as communication, difficult conversations, documentation and supervision do matter as much as hands-on techniques. They also talk about their annoyance of what seems like an ever-increasing number of very short online qualifications that allow individuals to then adopt the title of Sports Therapist, and the risks posed by these courses within isolated practice.

The episode highlights practical solutions: better patient-led training, collaboration and supervision, joining reputable professional associations, and adopting evidence-informed approaches to working with pain and complex cases.

Ep.280 'Common Frustrations For MSK Clinicians - Part 1/4'' with guests Imi Testa & Jo Turner

This month on the STA Clinician Podcast, our focus is 'Common Frustrations For MSK Clinicians'. In Part 1, host Matt Phillips is joined by special guests Imi Testa, owner of Back On Track Soft Tissue Therapy, and Jo Turner, founder of Mehab.co.uk. Imi and Jo discuss the all too often polarised debate over 'good posture', and the misconception that maintenance massage is merely a luxury.

The conversation covers safe peer spaces, coaching and clinician self‑care, the limits of purely biomechanical thinking, and the value of collaboration and awareness in practice. Imi talks about the exciting new course she has created with fellow therapist Joanne Crawley, created for people in midlife and beyond that incorporates exercise for strength, balance and mobility. Jo Turner mentions her highly respected 'Coaching Unpeeled' course, delivered online with Joanne Elphinstone of JEMS Movement, designed to help MSK clinicians partner more effectively with patients, reduce sense of pressure and enable patients to participate in their treatment with greater engagement and motivation.

Part one of the series—practical, honest, and reflective.

Ep.277 'How AI is Revolutionizing MSK Rehabilitation’ with Tim Allardyce

In Ep.277 of the STA Clinician Podcast, host Matt Phillips is joined by special guest Tim Allardyce, founder of Rehab My Patient, who talks about how integration of AI into MSK rehab is revolutionising MSK Rehabilitation. The discussion looks at how Artificial Intelligence can support time-saving prescription, age & context-appropriate plans, data privacy & safety, and real clinic use-cases (note-taking, complaints, contracts). Tim explains how AI should support - not replace - clinicians, how it really doesn't need to be that expensive in 2026, using real examples from the exciting AI developments in ‘Rehab My Patient’ exercise prescription software.

Tim also talks about his trip starting April 10th to summit Island Peak (6,189m), Mount Everest (8,848m) and 
Lhotse (8,851m), to raise money for The Osteopathic Foundation, St. Dunstan's Education Group, The Sherpas, and Guy's & St. Thomas' Charity. We wish Tim the upmost of luck. Just Giving page is in the links.
