STA Ep42 'How To Stay Evidence Informed' with Jamie Johnston

Recorded live on Tuesdays at 8pm (UK time) on the Sports Therapy Association Facebook Page and also streamed live to YouTube, host Matt Phillips (creator of Runchatlive) brings guests from the Sports Therapy industry to answer YOUR questions and discuss topics chosen by YOU. One common message in nearly all of our podcast episodes is the need for soft tissue therapists to use current best evidence in making decisions about how to most effectively help individual clients/patients. But with increasingly busy and stressful lives, how much time should we be spending to stay up to date? How do we know where to look for quality information? Should we expect to have to pay for it?   In Ep.42 of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast we are thrilled to bring you Jamie Johnston, Registered Massage Therapist in Canada and creator of 'The Massage Therapist Development Centre'. Jamie is a key player in fighting to help the Massage Industry gain the respect it deserves, but stresses that evidence based research and a change in understanding is vital to put an end to the internal frustration and differing opinions that tears us apart from within. In this episode, Jamie discusses and answering questions on how we can all stay evidence informed, and avoid the many pitfalls that frequently line the way.   Check out themtdc.com for some fantastic sources of guidance & information for soft tissue therapists, as well as details of up & coming courses and a very worthwhile monthly membership.    Useful links: • Website: themtdc.com • Facebook: Massage Therapist Development Centre • Instagram: @themtdc • Twitter: @Jamie_MTDC  Enjoyed the episode?
