What does it take to craft a training system that lasts even when life’s full-speed? This week on The Physio Coach Podcast, Charlie Goodchild sits down with London-based coach Lewis Paris — multi-award winning, built for high-performers, and offering real talk about mindset, movement, injury, and habit. 

In this episode of the Physio Coach Podcast, Charlie Goodchild is joined by Dr George Bownes @citius.health — consultant in sports & exercise medicine and founder of Citius Health — to explore how elite-level sports medicine informs everyday rehab and pain-management.

In this very special live episode, Charlie is joined by Andrew Goodall, specialist physiotherapist , and Dr. Kash Akhtar, consultant orthopaedic knee surgeon. Together, they dive deep into the world of knees — debunking myths, discussing real-world rehab, and exploring how physios and surgeons can collaborate for the best patient outcomes. A big thank you to @arthrosamid for sponsoring the podcast and those that attended. 

In this episode of The Physio Coach Podcast, host Charlie Goodchild speaks with Nicola Graham — ex-physiotherapist, entrepreneur, and strategy consultant in health and performance. Nicola’s journey spans clinical practice, business ownership, angel investing, and most recently, a candid battle with breast cancer.

She shares how she reframed luck, why communication skills are the most transferable tool from physio to business, and how imposter syndrome can actually signal growth.

“Mental fitness is the reps you don’t see.”

In this episode of The Better Never Ends podcast, host Charlie Goodchild sits down with Robin Hughes, Head of Mental Fitness at Getahead Mindset, to unpack the concept of mental fitness – what it is, why we need it, and how it bridges the gap between mental health and peak performance.

Robin shares powerful stories, strategies, and analogies (beach balls, chimps, kaleidoscopes – you’ll see 👀) that help make mindset training as tangible as gym training.

"What if everything you thought you knew about pain was only part of the story?"

In this episode of The Better Health Podcast, host Charlie Goodchild welcomes pain specialist and physiotherapist, Richmond Stace. With 30 years of experience, Richmond challenges traditional narratives around pain, injury, and healing. They explore how pain is not just a signal from the body, but a deeply personal experience shaped by beliefs, environment, and lived reality.

From redefining what responsibility and self-compassion mean in the context of pain, to breaking down the power of predictive processing, this episode is a must-listen for physiotherapists, clinicians, and anyone who's ever struggled with persistent pain.

Back after a short hiatus, we're joined by hypermobility specialist and osteopath Alexandra Orfanides where we unpack the complexities and misconceptions around hypermobility—from diagnosis to lived experience, and from navigating healthcare systems to effective management.
