Matt Phillips has a modern approach to the treatment of runners. It doesn't involve tech or new treatment potocols - the main distinction in Matt's approach is an acknowledgement of the potential impact of a client's mental and wellbeing state, on their running performance and recovery from injury. With this in mind, Matt and I discuss the benefits of this approach to you, as well as your clients. Allowing yourself to take longer to get to the route of the problem, to do less in a session, and to accept that you may be just a part of this person's recovery. We also talked about the magic of collaborating with colleagues so that together you can navigate these new ways of working and of talking about how you work.
