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.

Around 1.5 million women in the UK are currently living with Endometriosis, a chronic and often debilitating condition that can cause painful or heavy periods, and may also lead to infertility, fatigue and bowel & bladder problems. Because endometriosis manifests itself in a variety of ways and shares symptoms with other conditions, diagnosis can be difficult and often delayed.
Recent research shows that there is now an average of 7.5 years between women first seeing a doctor about their symptoms and receiving a firm diagnosis. And that's for a condition with a prevalence equal to that of Diabetes!
This was a truly eye-opening episode. An huge thank you to Deborah Thurlow-Rowley for sharing details & photos of her own personal journey with endometriosis, and indeed to those of you who joined us for the live recording and also shared your own experiences.
Endometriosis provides soft tissue therapists with once again an opportunity to change lives IF we ask the right questions. 1 in 10 of our female clients could be suffering from endometriosis. Lets play a part in helping them get a quicker diagnosis than the current average of 7 years.
