'CPD happening this April to June, either online or face-to-face in the UK.' That's the focus this month on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, and in this episode our guest is Dr Gary Mendoza, founder of Stages of Change, whose online 'Motivational Interviewing & Behaviour Change' course teaches how important an understanding of Behaviour Change is to help our clients achieve their goals, and how the art of Motivational Interviewing can give soft tissue therapists, personal trainers & coaches the tools to help their clients make the necessary behaviour changes required for successful rehabilitation from injury, improving nutrition, enhancing performance, etc. Dr Mendoza is joined by two recent attendees of the course, Stephanie Hibberd and Tracey Taylor, along with host Matt Phillips who also recently competed the course.
