In the twelfth of our ‘Reflection Series’, host Matt Phillips is joined by Cecily Hislop who reflects on Ep.118 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast ‘Massage & Manual Therapy: A Modern View’ that was recorded back in 2022 with Paul Coker & Anna Maria Mazzieri.

(This is a re-recorded version, as the original had connection issues.)

Cecily discusses the challenges we have of re-shaping the clinical massage industry, breaking down traditional misconceptions and introducing new techniques to improve patient care. From understanding the significance of interpersonal communication to recognizing the enduring impact of touch, this episode promises valuable insights for therapists striving to enhance their practice.

Listen now to reflect, adapt, and evolve as Matt and Cecily dissect crucial themes for holistic therapy, with advice on how to support your clients effectively. Whether you’re a seasoned therapist or just starting out, there’s something enlightening in this episode for everyone.
