In this episode of The Physio Coach Podcast, Charlie Goodchild sits down with our very own pain specialist Simon Cabot to unpack the real drivers behind chronic pain.

From stress and the nervous system to “pain memories” and the mind-body connection — this conversation goes deep into why some injuries don’t heal the way we expect… and what actually works.

🎧 Topics include: • Why stress creates real, physical pain • The biggest shift that changed Simon’s career • Pain as a protector (not just damage) • Why “one-size-fits-all” treatment doesn’t work • How beliefs alone can sometimes eliminate pain

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.

• Testing as a tool for behaviour change
• Performance beyond “pain-free”
