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.

Ep.49 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast asks the question 'How important is the choice of words we use when communicating with our clients/patients?' Some studies suggest that words can have a 'significant impact on clinical outcome', 'the ability to heal and harm', but as modern therapists are we being pressured too much to second guess everything we say? We've used words like 'knot', 'release', 'stabilise' and 'wear-and-tear' for years so why change now?
To answer these questions & more, host Matt Phillips is joined by Matt Scarsbrook (The Massage Collective), Rachel Frances Thomson (Director at Biomechanics Education) and Benjamin Mace-Crossley (STA Regional Rep: Chester, Wirral, Manchester). The panel raise some very interesting discussion, fuelled as always by questions and observations from therapists who joined us for the live recording. If you have any feedback for the points raised, be sure to leave them in the comments section!
Next week in Ep.50:
'Pelvic Health Special' with guest Gerard Greene.
