Ep235 'Healthcare For People With Learning Disabilities' - Reflection with guest Nicki Mansfield

Now we have 234 episodes of hugely valuable weekly topics & discussions on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, we have decided to start a series of shorter REFLECTION episodes, in which host Matt Phillips invites YOU the soft tissue therapist to pick one past episode of the podcast that has particularly affected your daily practice, and come on the show and chat about it.  In this episode, Matt is joined by Nicki Mansfield of MMM Therapy, who takes us back to 21/2/2023 to reflect on Ep.137 'Healthcare For People With Learning Disabilities' with guest Alistair Beverley, The Learning Disability Physio. Nicky explains why this episode had a profound impact on her approach to therapy, discussing the concept of "diagnostic overshadowing," the importance of addressing biases in healthcare, and the need for continuous education and openness in practice.
