Michael Kenihan Entrepreneur | Mentor | Educator

Michael comes from a strong medical pedigree, and with his high level of sports participation and associated injuries, developed an early awareness of Physiotherapy, and specifically sports. These were the very early days of sports physiotherapy, there were no post-graduate courses, Cybex had just arrived and mentors were critical. 

After a short period working in a dedicated sports clinic in Adelaide, a new opportunity arose in Melbourne as a clinician and investor in a sports clinic. This pattern repeats several times in Michael's life. Meet someone, be offered a new opportunity, and take it on. Repeat. From clinician to investor, to business manager, owner of single to multiple clinics and then into Stem Cell Therapy and writing a book.

Michael's journey has touched on so many of the possible realms in which a Physiotherapist can move. He shares his thoughts on;

• taking risks
• the two common challenges he sees facing practitioners
• his most out-on-the-limb decision and the outcome of it and 
• where he sees Physiotherapy heading in the next few years.
