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.

We are also joined by Carla Bickerstaffe of Carla Bickerstaffe Sports Massage and Jenny Lane of Jenny Lane Sports Massage Therapy who talk about their time working with Rich & Rich, including at the Invictus Games, a international multi-sport event first held in 2014, for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veterans.
Diving into both the physical and mental challenges Rich & Rich face, this episode reveals their preparation strategies, and the invaluable support from their therapists. We also hear about the charitable causes they are supporting through their expedition: the Royal British Legion and Blesma, The Limbless Veterans charity, who offer support, advice, and camaraderie to limbless and injured veterans and service personnel as they rebuild their lives.
Join us as we explore their inspiring stories of resilience, teamwork, and the quest to set a world record. For those moved by their journey, we provide information on how you can support their cause through the Just Giving pages. Don't miss this powerful and uplifting episode!
