Massage and Myotherapy Australia 2026 Conference
We’re revisiting a conversation with Stuart Hinds, a soft tissue therapist with over 30 years’ clinical experience, including work across four Olympic Games and a Commonwealth Games.
This is a practical conversation about staying in the profession.
Stuart draws on his experience in clinic and education to unpack what wears therapists down over time. Physical load. Mental fatigue. And the tendency to keep pushing in order to look after clients, often at the expense of our own health often at the expense of our own health, without realising it.We challenge some of the common benchmarks in the industry. Being fully booked. Long days. High client numbers. These are often treated as markers of success, but they can quietly drive injury and burnout if they’re not managed well.
There’s discussion around technique, workload, and how to structure your work so it remains sustainable over the long term.
This episode is for you if you’re questioning how to build a steady, sustainable career over the long term.
