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.
