The Sports Therapy Association Podcast, recorded live on YouTube and Facebook at 8pm every Tuesday, is having speakers from the up & coming 'Hands On Hub & STA Conference' on as guests, to introduce them to you and let you know a little about what they will be delivering at the conference.

In Ep.254, host Matt Phillips (who will also be hosting the conference) is joined by Director of The ST School, Anna Maria Mazzieri, who discusses what evidence-informed practice means in Massage Therapy.

The episode explores topics including how trauma and chronic pain interact, the somatic effects of touch, and practical, evidence‑based approaches to working with scars. Anna Maria talk about the online CPD Webinar offered by The ST School: "Evidence Based Practice in Massage Therapy: What Social Media Doesn’t Tell You!" , including some of the surprises & benefits that attendees typically experience. Also discussed is the value of reflective CPD, and how therapists can better communicate, debate and apply research in clinic and online forums.
