In this episode of The Physio Coach Podcast, host Charlie Goodchild sits down with Matt Todman, physiotherapist and founder of Six Physio, to explore nearly three decades of experience in private practice.

Matt shares his journey into physiotherapy, why he believes the profession needed disrupting, and how Six Physio grew by focusing on communication, culture, and patient experience rather than quick fixes or volume-based care.

This conversation dives deep into:

• Why physios struggle to value their work
• The art vs science of physiotherapy
• Communication as a clinical skill
• The 80–20 rule in rehab
• Building clinic culture that actually lasts
• Leadership, people, and long-term outcomes

If you’re a physio, clinic owner, or healthcare professional looking to improve both your clinical impact and business thinking, this episode is essential listening.
