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.

In the fifth of our 'Reflection Series', host Matt Phillips is joined Massage & Movement Therapists Stevie Barr of Fit Thru Life and Tristen Attenborough of Move Massage Pro, who together reflect on Ep.74 of The Sports Therapy Association Podcast “Massage 2021 – The Year of Change?”, which was recorded back in October 2021 with special guests Anna Maria Mazzieri and Matt Scarbrook of The Massage Collective.
Together, Tristan, Stevie and Matt reflect on, three years after the original epioode was aired, question such as:
- Has the delivery of sports massage improved in the last few years?
- Are practitioners now more evidence informed?
- Are patient outcomes better as a result?
The conversation that pursues delves deep into exploration of the challenges posed by misinformation in our industry, and the opportunities for professional development. A fascinating listen for soft tissue therapists both experienced and new to the indusry.
