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. Traditional explanations of what is going on under the hands of a Soft Tissue Therapist during a treatment often raise discerning eyebrows when subjected to a critical eye. Despite what is still often taught on many soft tissue based courses, popular claims of 'breaking down scar tissue', 'releasing muscles' and 'increasing circulation' are at best unsupported by any quality research and at worst physiologically impossible. Is this the end of Soft Tissue Therapy? Not necessarily. In Ep.23 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, special guests Anna Maria Mazzieri, Becky DeMott Horton & Matt Scarsbrook of 'The Massage Collective', discuss how a modern, up-to-date understanding of the effect of therapeutic touch on the nervous system could well pave not just a safe future for Soft Tissue Therapy but also one that could very much help lead the way in evidence based practice.
