Ms Nicole Bryant Motorsport Physiotherapist

Physio+10 focuses on the journeys of trailblazing Physiotherapists and today's conversation is with Nicole Bryant. I really enjoyed Nicole's conversation, she is very honest and obviously relishes hard work. However, she nearly didn't start studying Physiotherapy, failed Orthopaedics and pretty much quit on several occasions before completing her degree. So what kept her going? 
 
While a conversation about her journey as a Physiotherapist, we touch on many issues relating to private practice, Nicole shares;

• What she found challenging in her transition from a hospital-based to private practice based caseload
• Her secret strategies in progressing from one job to another and how to obtain your dream job
• An honest account of her current business mix that includes professional services to several motor sport racing crews
• Her thoughts on the importance of planning and explaining career moves as a female clinician in private practice
