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. For Sports Therapists & Sports Massage Therapists, the latest lockdown has brought guidelines that are far from clear with regards to whether seeing patients face to face, much seeming to hinge on what your interpretation is of 'Essential To Health'. The common take-home message for many therapists seems to be if you (or a physiotherapist colleague) can demonstrate that the service you provide is essential to that patient's health, then you can see that patient face to face (subject to all Covid19 precautions being in place, including an initial virtual consultation to determine the need). To help us discuss 'what classifies as essential health services?', we welcome this week in Ep.27 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast special guest Jemma Oliver, creator of the 'Physio & Therapist Support Group' on Facebook. Jemma started out as a sports massage therapist before becoming a physiotherapist, and is a key player in breaking down traditional barriers seen too often in the healthcare industry. Her latest project physiosupport.co.uk offers support for therapists in their work environment and support for clinics. Enjoyed the episode?
