Life Stories | Ep.247 | Tom Lamb

This week on Life Stories, I sat down with Tom Lamb -  a senior physiotherapist with a seriously unique journey – and we covered a lot more than just rehab and performance. We got into how the physio world is evolving fast,especially with the rise of technology, AI, and data-driven rehab. Tom shares how tools like force plates and AI notetaking are changing the way clinicians work, but also why keeping things simple and human still matters most. We alsotalk about the shift in private practice, the growing demand for faster, higher-quality care, and why patients are becoming more invested than ever in their own health. But what really stood out to me was Tom’s story. From beinga visually impaired athlete to representing England, playing in World Cup finals, and now working as a physio in elite environments – it’s an incredible journey. We talk about identity, resilience, learning to embrace challenges,and how those experiences shaped the way he now treats patients. There’s also an honest conversation about the value ofhealthcare, why physios often undervalue themselves, and how the industry needs to evolve without losing its core – empathy, communication, and trust. Loads of insight in this one – whether you’re in healthcare,sport, or just interested in how people build meaningful careers and overcome adversity. Hope you enjoy it as much as I didFull Episode out now
