In Episode 262 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, host Matt Phillips is joined by guests Aimi Healey-Bracher, Sports Rehab Therapist a Praia Sport Rehab and Lead Therapist at Cardiff City FC Women, and Tristen Attenborough, educator and founder of Move Massage Pro, to discuss ‘MSK Conferences: How Much Do They Affect Your Clinical Practice?”

Aimi and Tristan share honest experiences from the recent ‘STA & Hands-On Hub Conference’ in Exmouth, and also Therapy Expo, the UK’s largest annual multi-disciplinary event, which is returning to the NEC Birmingham this year on the 26th & 27th of November. They talk about what inspires them, what they implement into every day practice, and how connection, clarity and evidence-informed talks influence their work.

The episode considers both the benefits of MSK conferences, such as networking, renewed confidence, exposure to new populations and topics, and the potential drawbacks, including cost, size, and sales-driven stands, and how conferences may best be used as a jumping-off point rather than a step-by-step solution.
