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. Ep.22 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast brings to the table a topic that causes much divide amongst soft tissue therapists: 'Would Sports Therapy benefit from Statutory Regulation?' It's a topic very close to STA founder Gary Benson’s heart, and indeed if you click on About tab on the STA website you will see the 'Regulation' section with a letter Gary put to the Policy department of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) back in March 2020 asking for clarification of a number of points regarding regulation of the industry. Along with Gary, we are delighted to also be joined by Chris Kitson, co-founder of 'Endurance Therapy & Performance' and an EX-osteopath. That’s right, Chris decided to LEAVE a regulated body voluntarily, forfeiting his right to be part of the Allied Health Professionals! Enjoyed the episode?
