In this episode of The Physio Coach Podcast, host Charlie Goodchild sits down with Alex Morrell, physiotherapist, clinic owner, and former sports physio, to explore the realities of modern physiotherapy careers.
Alex shares his journey from early academic failure, into professional rugby environments, and ultimately into building a multi-service clinic focused on performance, systems, and long-term outcomes — not quick fixes. This conversation explores the crossover between physiotherapy, coaching, and business, and how clinicians can build careers that are both impactful and sustainable.
This episode dives deep into:
- Failure as a driver for growth
- The realities of sports physio vs private practice
- Push seasons, pull seasons & avoiding burnout
- Why rehab needs to be harder
- Testing as a tool for behaviour change
- Performance beyond “pain-free”
- Mentorship, systems & business scalability
- Building clinics that run without you
- Redefining success through family & lifestyle
