STA177 'Physical Literacy' with special guest John Scriven of Move Well

How much of the injury & pain experienced by our clients can be attributed to the modern day decline in physical activity in everyday life? As soft tissue therapists, what should we be doing with our clients to counterbalance this?

In this episode of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, special guest John Scriven, Movement & Rehabilitation Specialist and founder of Move Well, discusses the current pandemic of 'physical illiteracy', and how having '21st-century brains in ice-age bodies' contributes to sedentary-related disease and movement inefficiency.
