  • In Ep.216 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, entitled 'The Patient No-One Told You How To Treat', host Matt Phillips is joined by special guest Alistair Beverley, Director of LDPhysio.com, promoting and improving healthcare services for those with learning and lifelong physical disabilities.Alistair will presenting in the STA Theatre at Therapy Expo this year, at 2.25pm on Day 1 (Nov 27th), discussing the skills we as soft therapists can take from learning how best to support patients with a Learning Disability, something most of us are certainly not taught in our training.With around 1.5 million people in the UK having a learning disability, Alistair emphasizes the importance of understanding and improving healthcare services for this community. The conversation delves into the concept of diagnostic overshadowing, where symptoms are wrongly attributed to a patient's circumstances, be it a learning disability, their age, or even their gender. Alistair highlights the need for better education and awareness among healthcare providers to prevent such errors and improve patient outcomes.

    Additionally, listeners are introduced to Violet, a rescue dog with mobility issues whose life Alistair and his family saved. We recommend you watch the video recording of this episode on the Sports Therapy Association YouTube to see Violet's amazing journey. Violet becomes a metaphor for resilience and the power of small actions in making a big difference. Alistair's story of adopting and rehabilitating Violet serves as an inspiring reminder of the impact of empathy and tailored care, not just for animals but for patients with unique needs.Chapter Markers:

  • Do you think Statutory Regulation for Sports Therapists is something we should be trying to acheive for our industry? What are the pros and cons? Is it something we should strive for, or is it a pipe dream that could never really be achieved even if we wanted it?In Ep.208 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, host Matt Phillips of Runchatlive.com is joined by Gary Benson, founder of the STA, and Anna Maria Mazzieri, Director of TheSTSchool, to discuss the topic of Statutory Regulation for Sports Therapists. This episode was sparked by the information given on a recent post from the Society of Sports Therapists (SST) suggesting that "with a new government, this might finally push through this vital regulation." Gary Benson presents historic evidence showing that it is highly unlikely Sports Therapy will be considered for statutory regultation any time soon. Anna Maria Mazzieri argues that although standardisation of training & practice is something our industry needs, statutory regulation is not needed to achieve it. The episode also highlights issues caused by misinformation from professional associations in the public domain, and clashes due to conflicting interests. An invite is offered to representatives from the SST and STO to be guests on a future Part 2 of the podcast.

  • In Ep.205 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, we dive deep into the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare. We are joined by special guest Jo Turner, founder of mehab.co.uk & host of the 'You Matter Podcast'.

    Jo Turner wrote a piece in July's edition of MSKMag entitled 'ChatGPT - Can You Tell Me If You Want My Job?'. The piece was a response to a recent article in The Gurdian entitled 'First NHS Physiotherapy Clinic Run By AI to Start This Year', with the clinic providing 'same-day automated video appointments with a digital physiotherapist'.

    Listen now as we explore the complexities of AI's role in healthcare. Is there a risk of AI replacing human health practitioners, or is it simply an adjunct to enhance modern therapy practices?
