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.48 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, we are honoured to be joined by the highly respected Dr. Mark Laslett, New Zealand Board Registered Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Specialist (NZRPS).
With a PhD based on his clinical research on the diagnostic accuracy of the clinical examination of patients with chronic low back pain, Mark has published over forty publications, including the first multi issue systematic review of diagnostic studies for the lumbar spine in 2017.
In this episode, Mark guides us through the various explanations out there for SIJ pain, its diagnosis & treatment, and the difference between sacroiliac dysfunction and sacroiliac joint pain.
WARNING: Many of the concepts traditionally taught with regards to the Sacroiliac joint and SIJ dysfunction are challenged in this episode. Dr. Laslett takes no prisoners as he reveals how many of the traditional ideas and assessment procedures still taught on many courses are highly unlikely to be doing what we believe they are. Though this can be frustrating to hear, it does NOT undermine our effectiveness as soft tissue therapists. In fact, it does the opposite - it gives us the tools to be even better at what we do, and evolve with current knowledge.
If you feel unsettled by what you hear, do please feel free to contact matt@thesta.co.uk or indeed any of the regional STA reps to discuss.
Next week in Ep.49:
• 'How Much Do Words Matter' - an STA panel discussion.
