Don’t forget to look at my UPCOMING EVENTS
In this episode I talk with Olivia Brown, a sports therapist, scar practitioner, and stretching enthusiast from Lincolnshire, UK. Olivia shares her journey in sports therapy and emphasises the power of networking and collaborating across different healthcare disciplines, including podiatry.
Connecting Through Social Media: Olivia reveals how her social media presence played a crucial role in connecting her with professionals like myself. She discusses the positives of networking online, such as making valuable connections and expanding professional reach. Despite the occasional negativity surrounding social media, Olivia believes it is an essential tool in today’s world of work and passions.
Collaboration Over Competition: One of Olivia’s key takeaways from her career is the importance of collaboration over competition in healthcare. Instead of viewing fellow professionals as competitors, she advocates for referring patients to specialists who can offer better treatment. She shares how this collaborative approach can create a network of support, benefiting both professionals and patients alike.
The Joy of Flexibility in Therapy: Olivia’s clinic offers a variety of services, from fitting insoles to conducting stretching classes, and she reveals how this flexibility in her offerings allows her to address different patient needs. She also talks about the satisfaction of integrating new knowledge into her practice and how it has enabled her to provide holistic care.
Adapting During COVID-19: The COVID-19 pandemic posed numerous challenges, but Olivia used this time to expand her business offerings. She started virtual stretching classes, which have now become an integral part of her practice. The pandemic pushed her to think outside the box and has taught her to embrace opportunities in adversity.
Olivia’s story is a powerful reminder of how adapting to changes, building professional relationships, and embracing social media can lead to success in a healthcare career. Listen to this episode to hear more about her inspiring journey and practical tips for expanding your professional network.
