This month's focus is on NUTRITION, and in part 1 ‘Eating Disorders’ our special guest is Nick Pollard, director of Family Mental Wealth and co-author of The Oxford Specialist Handbook on Eating Disorders.
Family Mental Wealth is a government-funded social enterprise co-founded by Dr Elizabeth McNaught (an NHS doctor) and her parents Nick & Carol Pollard. Dr Elizabeth McNaught and her parents have first hand experience of the struggles of raising a teenager with an eating disorder, and it is through this experience that Family Mental Wealth was born, with its mission to play a significant role in radically transforming mental health provision for children and young people through digital tools to facilitate family-based self-help, appropriately integrated with educational and clinical support.
The Oxford Specialist Handbook on Eating Disorders, published in 2022 and authored by Nick Pollard, Dr Elizabeth McNaught and Professor Janet Treasure (world-renowned expert on the subject with a lifetime’s experience in specialist care) has lead to the creation of Eating Disorders: eLearning for Health Professionals Course, in association with South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
Presented by Dr Elizabeth McNaught and Professor Janet Treasure, the course is designed to help Health Professionals play their part by developing a foundational understanding of the nature, presentation and diagnostic criteria of different types of eating disorders. It also introduces an understanding of related comorbidities and complications, including medical emergencies as covered in the Royal College of Psychiatrists MEED guidelines. Soft tissue therapists who complete the course will be equipped to play an appropriate role in supporting specialist treatment, through their own day-to-day clinical work.
Complete access to whole course is £75, but as mentioned in the podcast there is a 50% discount code for STA members, for the first 100 members who contact us with their STA number. For details, email: gary@thesta.co.uk .

First Tuesday of a new month, so we once again bring you ‘Ask Us Anything’, recorded as always LIVE on the Sports Therapy Association Youtube Channel. In this episode, our panel are presented with a selection of questions emailed in to host Matt Phillips (matt@thesta.co.uk) and from the Facebook 'Sports Massage Training & Support Group' run by Tracey McClimon.
On The Panel:
• Gary Benson - Founder of the Sports Therapy Association
• Danielle Peters - Director of Body Health Gatwick
• Nicki Mansfield - Director of Mansfield Massage & Movement
• Scott Loynes - Director of SL Sports Therapy
• Tim Allardyce – Founder of Rehab My Patient
Questions In This Episode:
1. Advice for online software for recording and storing intake forms, and clinical notes? Needs to be good but affordable for a practitioner that is starting out.
2. Advice on a booking app/calender/software that keeps everything together and sends confirmation & t&c's - not costing a fortune.
3. Advice on a payment app/card machine. Currently on Sumup however I constantly get payments delayed because of technical issues so I'm looking to change.
4. Are there words I am not allowed to use when creating my website? I am a recently qualified Level 5 Massage Therapist and have been 'warned' about words I can/cannot say, like pain & patient.
5. Should we choose our hashtags carefully?
Our sincere thanks to Danielle Peters, Nicki Mansfield, Scott Loynes and Tim Allardyce for giving up their time to be guests on the show!

First Tuesday of a new month, so we bring you once again our regular series ‘Ask Tim’, recorded as always LIVE on the Sports Therapy Association Youtube Channel. In this episode, a REHAB EXERCISE SPECIAL, Tim Allardyce, founder of Rehab My Patient clinical software, Group Clinical Director and NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur, answers YOUR questions on anything to do with Rehab Exercise Prescription. This episode includes some excellent visuals using Rehab My Patient Software so we recommend you check out the video on the Sports Therapy Association YouTube channel.
Despite Tim's protests (modest chap that he is), we organised this Rehab Special episode as it coincides with the release of a brand new 'Strength & Conditioning' section in Rehab My Patient Clinic Software. Though Tim from the outset points out that other exercise prescription software is out there and available, this new section within Rehab My Patient contains almost 1000 exercises including plyometrics, TRX, Olympic lifting and much more, adding to an already very popular software tool for Soft Tissue Therapists.
If you have questions for future episodes of 'Ask Tim', email host Matt Phillips at matt@thesta.co.uk, OR come join us LIVE on the first Tuesday of the month and ASK TIM yourself, face to face!
What's happening in the rest of April?
In Ep144, Ep145 and Ep146, our focus will be on CPD Courses currently available online or face-to-face in the UK. We start APRIL 11th with guest Dr Gary Mendoza, Director of Stages of Change, discussing his online course 'Behaviour Change & Motivational Interviewing'. Gary will be joined by recent course completers Stephanie Hibberd & Tracey Taylor.
Topics in this episode of 'Ask Tim':
- 0:00 Intro
- 6:00 Welcome Tim Allardyce
- 9:19 - Ask Tim Q1: In a year where money is going to be as tight as ever, is investing in exercise prescription software a bold move?
- 20:22 - Ask Tim Q2: How easy is it on clinic software to indicate regression & progression options for clients?
- 29:54 - Ask Tim Q3: I am a firm believer in making exercise fun. How much fun is a printed out list of exercises? =
- 34:30 - Ask Tim Q4: Hey Tim, really happy to see the new S&C section in RMP. How did you decide what to put in the Functional Exercise section and what to leave out?
- 40:59 - Live Question: What is the best way of using Template Prescriptions in Rehab My Patient Software?
- 46:50 - Ask Tim Q5: I’m reading a lot these days people saying reps and sets don’t really matter. As long as you reach fatigue the body will get stronger. What are your beliefs on reps and sets?
- 52:00 - Ask Tim Q6: (emailed in by Alex Moore last month) I’m in the process of looking for a new venue to use a Pilates studio with a treatment room built in. I have potentially found somewhere, but I am unsure what to do in regards to negotiation of the lease. There is quite a bit of work that needs doing to get it up to standard. I was just wondering if there was any advice in regards to types of lease and how you could negotiate it.
