Visit: for more Summary In this episode of the Physiotutors podcast, we discuss the pervasive issue of burnout among physiotherapists, focusing on the business and operational challenges that contribute to this phenomenon. Joined by Claire Braham and Anna Bunch, experts in practice management and virtual assistance, the conversation delves into the daily realities of running a physiotherapy practice. They highlight that burnout often stems not just from long hours or difficult patients, but from the overwhelming mental load, inefficient admin systems, and the constant feeling of being behind. Claire and Anna share insights on how these factors can lead to emotional fatigue and ultimately impact both personal and professional lives. The discussion also emphasizes the importance of recognizing early signs of burnout, such as feeling constantly behind or lacking the capacity to manage tasks that once felt manageable. Claire and Anna provide practical solutions, including the implementation of effective systems and boundaries, to help clinicians regain control over their workload. They stress the need for clinicians to prioritize their well-being and consider outsourcing administrative tasks to alleviate stress and improve overall practice efficiency.
