January 15, 2025Ep224 ‘Social Media: Do Soft Tissue Therapists Really Need It?’ with guests Katie Bell & Daniel Lawrence
Welcome to the Sports Therapy Association podcast, where we delve into insights that bridge the gap between evidence and practice in soft tissue therapy.

In this episode, Part 2 of our “FOCUS ON BUSINESS” special this month, host Matt Phillips of Runchatlive is joined by Katie Bell, Founder & CEO of Thrive Health & Wellness Business Coaching, and Daniel Lawrence, creator of the Physio Channel on YouTube and European Director of Education for RockTape.
The episode shines a spotlight on the balance between leveraging digital platforms and maintaining tangible community connections. While Daniel champions YouTube as a viable business entity that aids in professional development and offers passive income, Katie emphasizes the lasting impact of offline strategies in building a resilient clinic within its community.
Listeners are invited to learn from Katie's approach to offline marketing, as detailed in her recently published book "Thriving: Health Professionals: The Simple and Honest Guide to Growing Your Clinic", and to Daniel’s expertise in making YouTube work for healthcare professionals, part of his up & coming course: "Creating YouTube Channels & Videos".

Whether you're a therapist looking to diversify your income streams or seeking to solidify your community ties, this episode offers valuable perspectives and actionable advice.

October 24, 2024Ep.216: 'The Patient No-One Told You How To Treat' with special guest Alistair Beverley
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.
