STA103: Focus on Business Pt1: ’How To Build A Successful Clinic’ with special guest Tim Allardyce

This month on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, our focus is on the BUSINESS side of being a successful Soft Tissue Therapist.

As Sports Massage Therapists and Sports Therapists, many of us believe that the success of our clinic relies solely on our manual therapy skills. However, being a successful therapist in this challenging economic climate requires FAR more than that, and many clinics fail to reach optimum performance due to lack of BUSINESS acumen.

In this episode, special guest Tim Allardyce, Group Clinical Director, Founder of Rehab My Patient and NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur, will be discussing the FIVE most common business mistakes that soft tissue therapists make when trying to build a successful clinic.

Topics discussed:

• Has post-Covid provided a better economic climate for soft tissue therapists?
• Should we be preparing for a 2022 recession?
• Should you be putting up clinic prices, and if so how?
• The advantages of Mentorship
• The future of Sports Injury Fix
• Five most common mistakes made by soft tissue therapists:
  - No. 5: Relying solely on massage
  - No. 4: Not rebooking clients in
  - No. 3: Not networking
  - No.2: Not contacting old clients
  - No. 1: Wasting money on advertising

STA99: ’Nutrition: Mind Over Matter?’ with special guest Dr Gary Mendoza

New month, new Focus Topic... NUTRITION! Join us for LIVE video recordings of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast throughout May at 8pm (GMT+1) with special guests discussing nutrition related topics.

Our special guest Dr Gary Mendoza, a behaviour change expert and lecturer in Nutrition for Sport & Exercise at Bath Spa and Cardiff Metropolitan Universities, opens the month with an episode entitled 'Nutrition: Mind Over Matter?'

Dr Mendoza was a guest back in August 2021 in Ep64 of the Sports Therapy Asspciation Podcast: 'Motivational Interviewing for Client Communication', and in this episode discusses how important an understanding of Behaviour Change is when working with patients or clients trying to manage their weight.

Topics discussed include:

• The research work Dr Mendoza did into the psychology of change, as part of his PhD in Nutrition
• The importance of a client’s state of ‘readiness’ when looking at weight management
• The fact that people will employ the services of a personal trainer or sports therapist even if they are not psychologically ready to change.
• The use of Motivational Interviewing (MI) when working with behaviour change goals, drawing on the knowledege of MI Founders William Miller and Stephen Rollnick, as well as Professor Terry Moyles.
• The value as a therapist or personal trainer of improving ones communication skills, including the ability to understand & use open questions effectively, affirmations, reflections and summaries (known collectively in MI terms as ‘OARS’).
• The use of “real play” vs “role play”, i.e. learners using their own personal or business issues when studying behaviour change, rather than a made up scenario.
• Details of courses run by Dr Mendoza, as well as his free downloadable 'Behaviour Change Booklet' (for therapists and clients) - see 'useful links' below.

STA98: ’In-Home Polysomnography’ with special guest Dr Amy M Bender

And so we reach the final part of our 'SLEEP AWARENESS MONTH' on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, with special guest Dr Amy M Bender, Director of Clinical Sleep Science at Cerebra, talking about 'In-Home Polysomnography' and sharing the results of host Matt Phillips' recent five week sleep study.

What is in-Home Polysomnography?
The most comprehensive form of sleep study currently available requires going to a sleep-lab. However, for many the sleeping environment is unnatural and equipment uncomfortable. A popular alternative is the ‘Home Sleep Apnea Test’ (HSAT), which though convenient only measures breathing and respiratory functions, not sleep quality.

Enter the ‘Cerebra Sleep System‘ – an in-home, self applied polysomnogram (PSG) that provides the quality diagnostics of an in-lab study with the convenience of Home Sleep Apnea Testing.

For those of you who like the nitty gritty, Cerebra Sleep System uses the patented algorithm Odds Ratio Product (ORP) that micro analyses the Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal providing a continuous measure of sleep depth, moving beyond conventional scoring methods to dig deeper into brain activity.

The Cerebra Sleep System can measure brain waves (EEG), eye movement (EOG), respiratory data, leg and body movements, pulse oximetry, and heart rate (ECG).

Matt Phillips Sleep Study using ‘Cerebra Sleep System’
My personal five week sleep study included:

• Electroencephalography (EEG/brain waves).
• Electrooculography (EOG/eye movements).
• Electromyography (EMG/electrical activity of chin muscle).
• Daily reaction time tests to track performance.
• Questionnaires on perceived sleep quality, disturbances during the night.
• Tracking of daily exercise & use of electronics before bedtime.

In this podcast episode, topics discussed included:

• What are the benefits but also limitations of common consumer wearables like Fitbit and Oura ring?
• How does the Cerebra In-Home Polysomnogram Sleep System differ from the above?
• How useful is the data regarding the different stages of sleep, e.g. REM, N-REM, Deep Sleep, etc.?
• How did Matt Phillips find sleeping with the Cerebra headset on?
• How useful was it being held accountable each day by filling in questionnaires? 
• What was Matt's Sleep Study expecting to find by removing caffeine consumption after week one?
• A look at the results from Matt's five week Sleep Study including:
  - General Insights (sleep efficiency, sleep latency, reported sleep quality, and more)
  - Actual sleep time per night
  - Amount of waking up after going to sleep
  - Effect of removing caffeine: evening sleepiness, reaction time, attention lapses
• Take home messages from the study & Sleep Awareness Month

STA96: Sleep Awareness Month Pt2 - ’Sleep Trackers’ with guest Dr Olivia Walch

'SLEEP AWARENESS MONTH' on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast continues with Part 2: 'Sleep Trackables' with special guest Dr Olivia Walch, CEO of Arcascope, a company that develops science-backed apps to help people fix their sleep and circadian rhythms.

With an estimated one in three people in the UK reporting regular sleep complaints, it is not surprising that sleep trackers have become enormously popular over the last few years. On waking up, our faithful Fitbit, Oura Ring or Withings Sleep Analyzer (to name just three) will inform you of the quantity & quality of your night's sleep, but just how accurate are they? Can the information these consumer sleep wearables provide be put to good use, or are they just another modern day gadget causing dependency and anxiety?

Special guest Dr Olivia Walch takes us through such questions to see how marketing claims hold up under the scrutiny of science, and discusses what role they can play in improving sleep health.

Topics discussed include:

• What is the difference between sleep trackers and sleep wearables?
• How long have sleep trackers/wearables been used to assess sleep quanitity/quality?
• How has the technology in sleep wearables changed over time?
• How do scoring algorithms work?
• How accurate are popular sleep wearables from Garmin, Fitbit, Oura Ring, etc?
• Can popular consumer sleep wearables measure stages of sleep? 
• What is the relationship like between sleep researchers and consumer brands for wearables?
• If we see clients/patients are wearing sleep trackers, what sort of conversations should we be having with them?
• Can sleep trackers cause 'orthosomnia' - the obsession for 'perfect' sleep?
• Using sleep wearables to measure sleep consistency.
• Controlling light exposure: one of the easiest & most accessible ways to improve sleep quality/quanity
