The ST School

The best professional development doesn't simply add to your knowledge—it influences the way you think and the decisions you make in clinic.

The aim of the Knowledge Summit is to provide practical, evidence-informed education that therapists can take directly into their everyday practice.

Whether you're looking to strengthen your clinical reasoning, gain fresh perspectives or stay up to date with current thinking, the conference offers something for therapists at every stage of their career.

We're looking forward to seeing Anna Maria Mazzieri representing The ST School as one of this year's presenters.

One of the greatest benefits of conferences is the opportunity to hear different perspectives.

This year's Knowledge Summit brings together five experienced educators from the UK and Canada, each sharing their own expertise, research interests and clinical experience.

No single person has all the answers, and that's one of the strengths of our profession. By listening, questioning and learning from one another, we continue to improve the care we provide.

We're incredibly proud that Anna Maria Mazzieri is part of this year's international speaker line-up and hope many of our students, graduates and colleagues will join us online this October.

Preparing for a conference presentation always provides an opportunity to reflect, revisit the evidence and consider how research can best be translated into everyday practice.

As one of the presenters at this year's Knowledge Summit, Anna Maria Mazzieri will be sharing insights designed to encourage therapists to think critically, challenge assumptions and continue developing their clinical reasoning.

At The ST School, we believe learning shouldn't stop at qualification. The best therapists remain curious throughout their careers.
We'll be sharing more about Anna Maria's session over the coming weeks, but for now we hope you'll consider joining us for what promises to be an inspiring day of learning.

Evidence-based practice is a phrase we hear often, but what does it really mean?

It isn't about replacing experience or intuition. It's about combining the best available research with clinical expertise and the needs of the individual in front of us.

As therapists, continuing to question, learn and develop helps us provide the best possible care for our clients. That's why opportunities like the Knowledge Summit are so valuable.We're proud that Anna Maria Mazzieri will be sharing her knowledge alongside four other respected educators from the UK and Canada, all with the shared aim of translating evidence into everyday clinical practice.

If you're passionate about professional development, we'd love for you to join the conversation.

Scars are a problem when they are painful and/or restrict movement.

At that point a manual therapist needs to approach treatment efficiently, safely and with the correct explanations behind it.

Manual therapy or massage (or any other hands on approach) can be really helpful to help with scar problems.

What can our hands on approach do?

It certainly DOESN’T help a scar by breaking it down, DOESN’T help the fibres to realign

But we don’t need these things for helping with problematic scars.

Join Anna Maria for our Scar Workshop next month where you will learn;

• Scar assessment techniques
• Massage and myofascial approaches
• Cupping for scar restriction and sensitivity
• Silicone sheeting applications
• Rigid and kinesiology taping
• Guidance on when different interventions are appropriate throughout the healing process

You'll work directly with real scars in a supported learning environment, helping you develop clinical reasoning, challenge common misconceptions, and build confidence in your treatment decisions.
