In Ep.265 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast ‘Reflections On ‘, special guest Mike James, aka ‘The Endurance Physio’ joins host Matt Phillips to reflect on the recent Therapy Expo 2025, held at the NEC Birmingham. Listen as they discuss this year’s highs, lows, everything in between, and what the future could / should hold for Therapy Expo.

As speakers, theatre hosts, and members of the Therapy Expo Advisory Board, Mike James and Matt Phillips have both seen Therapy Expo evolve from a roomful of attendees in Manchester back in 2013, to becoming the UK’s largest multi-disciplinary event, with over 2,000 delegates, 100 specialist speakers, 150 certified CPD sessions, and 150+ exhibitors.

Key takeaways include calls for longer, more practical and interdisciplinary sessions, as well as greater audience interaction. Matt & Mike celebrate the growing collaboration between organisations and speakers and highlight new content plans for 2026, including its new name: “The Therapy Show’. Early bird tickets for next year are just £49 in December!

Also mentioned is Mike’s new podcast “The Everyday Athlete Podcast” with co-host Rosi Sexton, Osteopath & first British Woman to ever fight in the UFC.
