059 - Marika Hart - The Top 7 Things I Have Learnt On My Journey As A Physiotherapist


Listen Later

In this interview, Antony interviews his co-host Marika about some of the lessons she has learnt along her journey as a physiotherapist (including sharing some of her big mistakes!).

 

Marika Hart is an APA-titled Musculoskeletal and Continence and Pelvic Health Physiotherapist. She started her journey in Perth, before heading to London, Melbourne and finally back home. Despite declaring no interest in working in pelvic health, she found herself falling into the field after having 2 children and realising she was ignorant about this area! She currently works as the senior urogynaecology physiotherapist at King Edward Memorial Hospital, where she continues to learn from her colleagues and patients.

 

In this episode you will hear Marika share

  • some of her a-ha moments when working as a physiotherapist
  • some of the different ways in which she has advanced her knowledge and skills over the years (courses, mentors etc)
  • her vulnerability as a new-grad physiotherapist, feeling like she should know more
  • how changes in her mindset led to less stress and anxiety at work
  • how working with Girls Gone Strong helped her develop new skillsets to help her clients
  • how diversifying early in her career has helped enormously in her work as a pelvic health physiotherapist
  • how her musculoskeletal masters clinics helped her develop her clinical reasoning skills and start asking herself “why” more.
  • some of the difficulties in working with complex conditions and why self care is so important
