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 Ep.202 of the Sports Therapy Association podcast, we take a look at the use of movement assessment technology in assessment & rehab, with special guest Stephen King, founder of the 'MAT Approach' at matassessment.com.
Stephen shares his journey from being an osteopath and physiotherapist to developing innovative assessment tools that help therapists bridge the gap between traditional methods and functional movements. Learn how tools like the Movement Assessment Tool (MAT), Muscle Meter, MegaMat, and HopMat can provide meaningful data to enhance clinical reasoning and patient outcomes.
