Matt Phillips is a Running Injury & Performance Specialist, creator & host of the Runchatlive Podcast and the Sports Therapy Association Podcast. Originally a strength & conditioning coach with the National Academy Of Sports Medicine, Matt turned his attention to Sports Therapy in 2004 working particularly with distance runners & endurance athletes.

For over ten years, Matt was part of a multidisciplinary team of Physiotherapists, Sports Therapists, Osteopaths, Podiatrists and Massage Therapists. In witnessing the high levels of conradicting advice & misconceptions within the running industry, Matt decided through his website www.runchatlive.com to try and help both runners and therapists evolve from outdated ideas and embrace a more evidence-based approach to running injury prevention & management.

Matt has spoken at numerous national conferences and written for many websites & national magazines including Runners Connect & Outdoor Fitness. He also spent time in Nairobi helping set up one of the first Gait Analysis stores in Kenya

The 2019 ‘Runchatlive International Running Conference‘ (recordings available on Runchatlive YouTube Channel) was a huge success with world class speakers travelling from as far as Australia, Canada & The United States. The online 2020 Runchatlive Conference (recordings available on Runchatlive YouTube Channel) allowed delegates to share their screen with more world class speakers from the running industry and was streamed with simultaneous translation into Spanish!
