In the episode 25 of The Successful Allied Health Practitioner Podcast, I chat with Lachlan Townend, a passionate physiotherapist who’s shifted from hands-on clinical work to creating an innovative app that supports thousands of people living with chronic pain, especially in rural areas. Lachlan shares the challenges and rewards of developing this digital health tool over two years, including adapting it based on real patient and clinician feedback, while balancing the freedom and demands of running his own business. We also explore the importance of defining success personally, staying passionate to avoid burnout, and knowing when to pivot your career or business. This episode is full of honest insights for any allied health professional interested in entrepreneurship or expanding their impact.
