The Sports Therapy Association Podcast is recorded LIVE every Tuesday at 8pm (UK) on the Sports Therapy Association YouTube channel and Facebook Page, and then uploaded as a podcast. You do not have to be an STA member to attend the live recordings - it is a chance to network with fellow therapists and discuss topics that together help us all move forward as an industry. The goal of the podcast, hosted by Matt Phillips (creator of runchatlive.com), is to deliver to Soft Tissue Therapists of all levels (including massage therapists, sports therapists, physiotherapists, podiatrists, chiropractors, etc.) up to date information on how to be a modern, successful, effective health care practitioner, with a gold star reputation for being able to help people in pain and/or looking for performance gains. The Sports Therapy Association (STA) is a professional representation for Sports Therapists, Sports Injury Therapists and Soft Tissue Therapists. We have worked passionately to develop a truly independent and ethical association that is committed to raising standards across the industry and progressing opportunities for our valued members.

Now we have 234 episodes of hugely valuable weekly topics & discussions on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, we have decided to start a series of shorter REFLECTION episodes, in which host Matt Phillips invites YOU the soft tissue therapist to pick one past episode of the podcast that has particularly affected your daily practice, and come on the show and chat about it.
In this episode, Matt is joined by Nicki Mansfield of MMM Therapy, who takes us back to 21/2/2023 to reflect on Ep.137 'Healthcare For People With Learning Disabilities' with guest Alistair Beverley, The Learning Disability Physio. Nicky explains why this episode had a profound impact on her approach to therapy, discussing the concept of "diagnostic overshadowing," the importance of addressing biases in healthcare, and the need for continuous education and openness in practice.
