Josh’s Journey to be a Chartered Physio

Jon McComish • January 27, 2026

My journey to become a qualified Physiotherapist began with a desire to build on my existing experience in sport and private practice. Over the past two years, I’ve had the opportunity to complete a variety of placements, including stroke, respiratory, community rehabilitation and two musculoskeletal placements - one of which specialised in post-operative care. Each placement challenged me in different ways and enabled me to develop a deeper appreciation for patient-centred care across a range of settings. Throughout this time, I’ve been able to build on the skills I gained as a Sports Therapist while learning new approaches that have shaped a more holistic view of health and rehabilitation. Combining the strengths of both degrees has really helped me grow as a professional. The past two years have taught me invaluable clinical, professional, and personal lessons, and I truly believe they have played a key role in shaping me into a well rounded Physiotherapist.
