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
