The Society of Sports Therapists was established in the UK in 1990 to address the growing demands from sport and leisure on everyone involved in the management and care of injured participants.

In this 2nd podcast with BJSM, Professor Smith highlights hot topics such as: (i) readiness to return to play and how it differs from return to competition, (ii) training load and contribution of new data in the training-injury field. I summarise the program for the 2017 conference “From Pain to Performance” (May 20th, 2017) that features Peter Brukner, Bill Knowles, and Susan Alexander.

The Society of Sports Therapists is one of 25 member societies that partners with BJSM:
