The STA Clinician Podcast - 'Connecting Clinicians Across Healthcare' - is recorded LIVE every Tuesday at 8pm (UK) on the Sports Therapy Association YouTube channel and Facebook Page, and then uploaded as a podcast to all popular platforms. After 5 years of broadcasting weekly as the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, the name of the podcast has been updated to reflect how our content is of value & interest to all health care professionals, with a major goal being to promote conversations that embrace & nurture multidisciplinary care. Hosted by Matt Phillips (creator of Runchatlive.com), we welcome all health care professionals to join us for the live recording, a chance to network with fellow therapists and discuss topics that together help us all move forward as an industry.
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.

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.
