Welcome to the Sports Therapy Association Podcast! Recorded live on Tuesdays at 8pm (UK time) on the Sports Therapy Association Facebook Page , host Matt Phillips (creator of Runchatlive) brings guests from the Sports Therapy industry to answer YOUR questions and discuss topics chosen by YOU. Under current guidelines (at time of writing), the Government has made it clear that Sports Therapists & Massage Therapists are not allowed to see clients face to face (despite what a couple of other professional associations have said to their members). Gary Benson, founder of the STA explains why this is the case, including a very interesting discussion on why Sports Therapists can't work but Physiotherapists can. There are many ways Sports & Massage Therapists can still help clients & patients, and in Ep.33 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast special guest Liz Bayley, resident Physio at The Musical Theatre Academy and First Contact Physiotherapist, helps us discuss how we can do this via Virtual Consultation. Before completing her Masters in Physiotherapy, Liz worked as a sports therapist in the West End on shows such as Wicked, The Wizard of Oz, Singing in the Rain, Shrek, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Chicago, Matilda and Jersey Boys. A professional dancer herself for 15 years, Liz has performed all over the world and has a wonderful understanding of being both the patient and the therapist, giving her unique insights into injury rehabilitation. Liz discusses how she uses this insight to make the most of Virtual Consultation, both with dancers and the non athletic population. Join us LIVE at 8pm (GMT) on Tuesday 12th of January.
